Today was a good long day in the saddle.  Andrea and I rode out to Outdoors (as usual) but we added some extra bits…  At the Shelby Forest Store we heard that the river (the MIssissippi) had flooded out the access road (Jackson Hill Road)…so we diverted from the group to check it out…..

So after looking at the flooded road, we doubled back up the hill (one of bigger ones around town) and rode back to mid-town.  She remembered seeing a good stencil on a boarded-up gas pump on Union Ave, so we decided to stop and capture it on my phone…

I am not sure what this (”we win”) has to do with a boarded up gas pumps (this station probably was robbed too many times), but the artistry is pretty good and well done.   In the end, I do hope more people will realize how many useless trips are taken and endeavor to reduce them….

In all, I got about 79 miles which is probably the furthest I have ridden in a while in one go.  In the middle, there was (as usual) a sprited section going through Benjestown to the Shelby Forest Store..  I was able to put in a few good efforts that make me a believer in the longer leg extension.  I probably will try to get up to the position that Rod suggested, but I am going to leave it alone (at part of the way there) through the next couple weeks (including Chattanooga Georgia Cup race and the Mississippi Gran Prix).

And I pulled the trigger on my e-file for my taxes…  I had to pay $300 this year instead of the usual $100…  Sold my Apple stock last year at pretty big profit (on a small position) to buy my Kuota.
