Today’s bike ride took me to the Spring Creek Greenway. Since May I ride the greenway once a month for variety and to see what is going on. Since I started biking the greenway it is not open all of the way with a barrier at the western end and I wanted to check to see if that changed. I left home at 11:00 am, a little later than I planned. I thought about riding on Monday but the weather turned wet.<\/p>\n
Weather during today’s bike ride: start 85 (80% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind E 6 mph. Finish 87 (74% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind SE 10 mph. I got a few sprinkles around mile 7 but they quickly disappeared.<\/p>\n
What didn’t disappear was a fraud alert text message from my bank around mile 7 too. I replied and then spent a few minutes talking with them on the phone to resolve the problem. Not what I planned for during the ride.<\/p>\n
Arriving at the I-69\/US59 trail entrance I usually see another cyclist or two before getting to Jesse Jones Park but not today. In fact I only saw 7 cyclists during the time I rode on the greenway. I think I saw more joggers and walkers than cyclists.<\/p>\n
Around mile 9 on the greenway riding west a crew worked on a culvert and I rode off the trail after they signaled me to come ahead. On the way back they were gone. They used a backhoe and dump truck.<\/p>\n
After turning around at the barrier I stopped at Dennis Johnston Park to refill my water bottle for the ride back to Jesse Jones Park. I took these photos at the park.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
