saturday in the city

i slept in today. i woke up and looked at my watch. 5:20! yikes! i slowly rolled out of bed, got dressed and headed out.

i left the dorm parking lot and headed north on st. clair. i cut through the stadium parking lot and hooked up with maple just west of hiram. i rode east on maple to seneca and turned south past the mason's home.

when i came to the light at mccormick, i turned west and pedaled over to southwest boulevard. i turned left on southwest and headed, well, southwest.

i pulled up at west street and caught the left turn light to go south on west. i rode past macarthur and enjoyed a mostly traffic-free ride down to 55th. i turned on 55th, crossed the flood control ditch and rode past the solid waste transfer station to hoover.

at hoover i headed north with the wind at my back. a nice change after pushing against it for nearly ten miles.

at macarthur i turned back to the east and reconnected with west. i rode north on west to 31st street and eaded east again. i rode 31st for a few blocks, but had to turn north at meridian because of construction. i rode on up to 27th street and enjoyed a brief jaunt through a quiet residential district.

after crossing seneca, i turned north on osage, caught pawnee east and eneded up on mclean headed north again.

i rode mclean all the way up to taft and turned for the jog over to sycamore. i didn't want to go to maple and have to wait for that stupid triggered light again.

sycamore took me to maple and maple to walnut where i turned south a block to mentor. mentor took me to seneca where i jogged another block south to university which took me west back to campus. i turned north on hiram and spun through the business building parking lot and crossed over to the stadium parking. on the other side of the stadium parking lot, i turned south on st. clair and soon found myself back at the dorm.

i really enjoyed my time out today. it was quiet an peaceful almost everywhere. felt more like riding at home than either of the other days up here.

headed back to argonia this afternoon. i'll be back out on the highway monday morning. have a great weekend everyone! God bless you all! (21.16 miles @ 15.8mph)
