2024 MILEAGE - 1433.9
Michelle and I have come to the Gulf Coast area of Alabama (Gulf Springs) for a few days during her spring break, along with my daughter Christy and grandson Danny, as we did during spring break 2022. At that time I was thrilled to find an establishment, Beach Bike Rentals, where I could rent a recumbent TerraTrike similar to mine at home, and enjoy several days of nice outdoor riding on the fine Hugh S. Brandon Backcountry Trail system here.
After we drove down yesterday, I went for an inaugural ride this morning, which had (of course) its quota of adventure. First, I had planned to walk to the rental place ... but I'm extremely glad that Michelle prevailed upon me to let her drive me, as it was farther than I had expected, and in the opposite direction! Once we got there and got the trike, she took this picture of me all ready just before I started my ride.
Michelle had asked me to please avoid riding fast, and I consented to this. However, I could have ridden fast anyway .... the trike was somewhat unwieldy, and me to need to stop and consult the map frequently, my pace was quite plodding, I rode around Lake Shelby, in the western part of the trail system, and took a selfie at one point, as well as seeing an exciting ng sign!a

This gave me a ride of 10.1 miles in 1:48.
