Back in action (good pun )

My back must be better, I put in 40 miles Saturday (20 in the rain) and 40 miles Sunday then followed up with a quick 10 Monday evening. Felt good, no backache, did my sit ups.
Sunday was great weather but I thought I'd drown Saturday. Riding on the street in the pouring rain is a daredevil stunt. Had a little burn in the thighs Sunday afternoon, that's a good thing.

Saturday I followed the River to Audubon Park , then across uptown to the Quarter then Esplanade to the Lake then back home. On Sunday I rode the River levee only, had those skinny tires on, can't use then on the street, too fragile.
Ran into my Coach/Trainer , Frank, on the Levee Sunday, we chatted then rode on .
The River looks good considering. The Lakefront seems deserted , they have rebuilt the shelters and bathrooms, still plenty of work to do. Sorry no pictures this weekend,
too much rain and hard riding. Next weekend more, more, more.
later
gary
