I went riding after dinner. I wanted to get the numbers of my new loop. It is 3.9 miles to the beginning of the sidewalk loop from my home. Each loop is 6.2 miles. A trip to the sidewalk, the loop, and back home is a neat 14 miles. Each additional loop adds another 6.2 miles. I rode 4 loops and my total miles on the odometer were 39 miles. I think that in reality it was a 38.8 mile ride. My numbers are close enough to project what I can do with each battery. I discovered a problem beyond the new loop being boring. The three ladies I've mentioned seeing were walking tonight. I interrupted their side by side walking eight times tonight. I bet they thought that I was an old man on the prowl. It was nearly embarrassing approaching them from behind and ringing my bell to get them to move to one side. At least when we were facing one another they obliged and moved without the bell.
Though hot and miserable tonight, I did see the three ladies walking, two cyclists, two joggers, and the old trike lady from the town South. One of the riders I stopped and visited on one of my return loops. We passed each other earlier and now he was walking his bike. I stopped and offered help. He was riding an old bike like my son grew up riding. It no longer had the banana seat but still had the hanger handle bars.
His crank locked up on the bike. He thought a bearing or race broke. At least it still rolled and he said he lived close. Nice guy.. John. I hope he gets his bike fixed of can grab another. He said he started riding again to shake off the oh no I'm 5Oh
