Occupant Activity :: Not Even Considered

Killin it at Oaks

Endo and I went for a ride at Oak Openings today. It was just shy of six miles riding through the swamps of NW Ohio. We only stopped twice to give Endo some water and take a picture.

Later, after the rain passed, I went for a solo ride and got in 30 miles. One bad pass and one obnoxious idiot who told me to fuck off and called me an asshole when I told him that bikes are supposed to ride with traffic, not against.

Endo and I finished off the day with some 🥏 and “come” training at Schneider Park.

Good day!

Here’s a couple of days worth of my reading.  Sorry for the gap. I’ve not been on top of things. Waiting sucks.
