As the four day weekend is coming to an end, and the forecast was calling for high heat with high humidity decided after lawn mowing to take a ride. At 830 AM got the bike on the road and rode to some cool spots. Headed for country areas with few stops and red lights: the better to keep moving. Rode some nice places including River Road (different than my favorite Riverside Drive area) but did get me past The University of Richmond. Had to see this, and one thing I came across was the home field of the Richmond Spiders Football team.
Nice school. Lots of really nice buildings and a lot seemed to be under construction. Very nice campus and was fun to ride around a bit.
Stopped to take this photo as I was leaving the school. and rode a bit more around the area. River Road was also very nice, with a lot of really fine houses and frankly some curves which were nice to twist around. Though it was getting hotter riding, still was not as bad as it got on Saturday. Ride next took me to Carytown.
Stopped at Carytown for a milk shake at McDonalds which was around 10 am. After that, rode down Cary Street and back to my house which I reached around 10:30.
It was a very good ride, not a whole lot of miles (about 35 to be honest) but sure enjoyed each one. Nice combination of old roads and routes and some new tossed in. Turned out to be a beautiful day and had a fantastic time.
