The Weekend

The weekend started out the same as it has for the past couple of weeks. Chris and I had already planned to take our Saturday morning bike ride. Only this time we were graced with the presence of Double D, who joined us last week, and KG, who was making his first appearance on the weekend ride.

I was hoping that we would be able to peddle out to the old army ammo plant and gain access to what would possibly be miles of newly paved roads, since they have been converting it over to an industrial park. Unfortunately, I was wrong. So, we decided to improvise. We decided to peddle out towards Charlestown and then head along 403 towards Sellersburg.

Once in Sellersburg we headed towards Clarksville. Along the way we had the idea to head towards Covered Bridge Golf Course. Luckily we came to our senses and chose not to head that way. We then headed into Clarksville along 131. At the end of 131 we decided to head towards Old Clarksville, which meant that we got to bike across a walking bridge. After that we realized that it was getting about time to head back since Double D and Chris had planned on being home around 10 am. All in all it was a good ride. I always look forward to the weekend and the rides with good friends.

As for Sunday, I have decided to make that my long distance run day. I had planned a route that would take me from my house to the house I grew up in, which is about 6.8 miles. I set out this morning and completed that route. I would say that it took a little over an hour. I had planned to time it, but forgot. Maybe next time. Below is a map of our bike ride for all those interested, and those not.





Until next time,
Yeti out!
