Went to Medina to ride in the Friendsville Freebie Fifty (Fall Foliage & Frostbite Frolic). It was windy and cold! Weather forecast said we were supposed to have sunshine but I wasn’t able to catch it. Took the shortcut after the cider stop with Count DracuLou for a 28 mile ride.

Check out the map log from Garmin Connect… I am slow!

Tested the ride to work with Cody today. Shanna joined us for the ride too. We did a quick mini tour of Cleveland’s water front at Brown’s stadium and the Rock Hall. We stopped at Jenny’s and visited for a break on the way back.

37 miles of riding in 3 1/2 hours at an 11 mph average pace.

I did a short loop on Sunday with Cody and Shanna. Great day for a ride. We had a small problem near the start of the ride with Cody’s bike. It had a frozen chain link that was causing problems with the chain skipping. I removed the link and we continued on.

I’m trying out importing to Google Maps import from the GPS. It doesn’t have as much information from the ride but I’m more confident with the longevity of the data. Maybe I’ll do my own charting of the other ride data in the future.

Cody has decided that biking is his preferred exercise. I agree completely! He and Shanna joined me for the regular Thursday night AkronBike ride from Deep Lock Quarry.

We did a modified valley loop since we had a late start due to Shanna’s work schdule.

My daughter Shanna and her boyfriend (“prospective future son-in-law”) went biking with me. They rode the tandem together for the first time. Great entertainment fun!
