I decided that if I want to get in shape for the WNBR on the 16th, I need to go out riding, even if the weather isn't so hot.

So I decided to use a route I plotted the other day to do a loop and hit some caches. I forgot to zero the trip info before leaving home, so I can only guess that I did around 7 miles.

Plotting the route had been a pain. When set for bicycle both my Garmin GPS and the Mapping program on the computer totally ignore things like bike paths. It said it'd be 23 miles. Selecting pedestrian *still* gave me some weird detours, but that lowered the route to only 10 miles or so.

Found 5 caches, missed 3, and it was getting late enough that I decided to skip the last three I'd planned.

At least I found a couple I'd been trying for for months. Both turned out to be on the opposite side of the bike path from where the co-ordinates indicated. Oddly, though, one was on the west side instead of the east side and the other was on the east side instead of the west side.

I also remember the heart rate gizmo. Never got over 150 that I noticed, but even 140 is rather draining.

Oh yeah, the weather *threatened* rain, but never actually did rain. It was a bit chilly when I started, but once I'd been biking a while, I was warm enough.

Fay has a pagan meetup thing tonight so we are doing our video night tomorrow. So no biking tomorrow. Hope to do something Wed & Thurs.
