Carol - Wednesday.   Al and Karen were over last night and we hadn't seen them for about two weeks.  Of course this called for some wine to be consumed.  While catching up  we decided a golf game would be in order for Wednesday.  The weather was forecast to be nice so we decided to call for a tee time about 1 pm.  This meant that I would have to get my ride in early.  I woke up about eight oclock and ate a couple of pieces of toast and some chocolate milk while I got my bike ready.  I was able to get out of the house about nine and headed down to Marine Drive.  I love this stretch of road because it has such a pretty view of the bay.  Traffic was light and I had good speed heading out even with a fair head wind.  I ended up riding through part of the reservation, out past the casino and on to Hovander Park in Ferndale.  My favorite part of the ride was riding through the farm land and raspberry fields.  It was such a pretty time of day and not too warm yet.  Very little traffic if any on the rural roads.  I even found a different road to bypass Marrietta.  Today's ride was so nice...it really reminded me why I enjoy riding so much.

Miles 30
Average speed 14.5
I felt great even after drinking last night.  By the way, I got home from my ride and had a half hour to get cleaned up and ready for golf.  Yes I made it and was looking good.
