gloves, gravel, glory
I made a mistake of waiting to run my weekly errands until the mid-afternoon today, Friday. It was timed so poorly, because only a shower before I left my place, I had returned from a second Mount Tabor - Craig Creek Loop ride. Before Nik is gone for good, we decided it best to take this trip a final time. I’m not sure if he has any other road cycling friends, but he may be the only person I know willing to do this type of riding. I’ll have to wait for an alumnus’ visit before I can revisit the loop - a solo version wouldn’t be wise and not nearly as enjoyable.
Running all over campus this afternoon was exhausting, even more so than the ride. Walking up the stairs in the library was painful in comparison to the slopes we traversed this morning. My last stop of the day was a FedEx drop-off. I was considering postponing the walk until Saturday but a quick search of their website told me I was less than 200 yards to a FedEx-approved shipping center. Upon return from the errands, I collapsed in bed, an afternoon sun doing its best to drag me back outside.
There are some photos from the ride. Nik’s photos, taken with a legitimate camera, came out far better than my RAZR’s images, which all appear to have been Photoshopped, they look so terrible.
