It was a very busy day for this last day of the 30 days of biking challenge. Dog walking, grass cutting and most importantly, my pick 6 for tomorrows Major league Soccer games It’s been a few years since I chose the Revolution to win a game in one of the “pick the winner” challenges. I usually got more wins by picking them to lose, if you know what I’m say’n.

Aeolus, the god of the wind was having some fun today. I was grateful to the god Jupiter, who convinced me to purchase an e-bike a few years ago. Without his divine intervention, I wouldn’t have completed my 30 days of biking challenge with the Joyful Riders Worldwide.

This was my eighth year in this challenge, and five of the eight, found me riding in the snow the first week of April. Two days of snow rides this year and a few windy days. Wind is an understatement for the final ride of the month to complete the challenge. I do have to admit that on my e-bike, the wind was not and issue. Between the gearing and the assist the drive train gave me, it was easy peasy.

I have been waiting a year to get back into the stadium. Only 12% for now. New Rules being released next week.

Moved to Friday April 23, 2021

Thursday is going to be cold and windy. Not much fun for a bike ride along the bay.

Earth Day Bike Ride – Friday April 23, 2021

Time: Meetup at 8:45am – Bike ride starts promptly at 9:00am.

Where: East Bay Path – Parking off of Route 103 in Warren, right after the Del’s Lemonade. 65 Child St. Warren R.I. Parking lot is feet away. You can’t miss it.

Details: Most of the ride will be on the bike path. Part of the ride may be on quiet neighborhood roads. The distance is expected to be 20 to 26 miles. Since it is on the path, if you feel like doing less you can cut the ride short. You should brink enough to drink and a small snack. We will make a stop at Borealis Coffee Company if you want something sweet or savory. Like a humongous doughnut with bacon and maple topping. Just say’n

I kept tossing around buying a new bike. I sold two this past summer, with the intent of maybe, just maybe, buying a new one. After following Ryan Van Duzer on Youtube riding the great divide on a Priority bike, I realized that would be the style for me. My first choice wouldn’t be deliverd till late September. I considered waiting, making my decision solely on the price.

My second choice was $400 more and naturally, a much better bike. More than I needed but not more than I wanted, if you get my drift. The clincher was four no interest payments. My Continuum Onyx will arrive around May 28th. Oh boy, oh boy.

My first choice was The Brilliant L Train, named after the NYC subway train.

The bike I purchased is the Continuum Onyx
