Day Seven

This was a colorful route that I had only taken walking in the dark hours of the morning or riding a bike through years ago. Went 5.78k today through the neighborhood and a park trail that goes through the neighborhood. This trail has been there over 30 years and was just dirt up until a few years ago when they beautified it spending of coarse millions of tax dollars for what I believe to be completely unnecessary. The trail was accessible and fine the way it was now it is paved and fancy with landscaping and trees. Anyway another beautiful day, hot and sunny, ran the whole way in 55 min. Still working on time to go faster, but confident of ability at this point. Was going to ride my husband's free American Express points bike which I rode the other day no problem but now the breaks are honking like a duck. My bike needed the tires pumped up and the valve broke off so need to get that fixed. I fixed up the bike last year after at least 10 years sitting outside in the rain and weather. Put on new tires, got off all the rust, new tape and seat and for $60 it rides like new, thanks to the help of my husband and daughter's boyfriend. I bought the bike in 1979, Raleigh Record Ace. Bought it for $200 then and it is $200 now, expensive then, cheap now. My other bike from 1981 is a Peugeot made in France that I gave to my daughter for college. Bought that for $400 then and is $400 now, wild. Thanks for your support,God Bless
