Been awhile since last post.  Most outside riding days are over.  I did do a ride to LeRoy last week as the temp was in the low 60's and the wind was a brisk 15=20 mph from the WSW.  While improvements have been made to the roads into Downs, the shoulders still have those bothersome rumble strips in the middle meaning riding in the road is a must.  Autos are somewhat displeased but other than a few blares of the horn, most give me what the law requires....a three foot clearance.  As stated in previous posts, route 150 from Downs to LeRoy is in need of resurfacing.  Very bumpy and uncomfortable riding this stretch.  But, it's been like this for years and the state doesn't seem to notice or for that matter care.  On another note, friend Larry who lives in Colorado has recently undergone should surgery.  His doctors informed him he was not allowed to bicycle on a regular bike and he has been biking for decades.  I think it is more of a suggestion rather than, "not allowed". To resolve his dilemma, he purchased a three wheeled trike.  Were it me, I might have considered an e-trike.  He will need to adjust his riding style but I'm sure he will be back at it in short order.   Therefore, as a conclusion, it looks like I'm back on the trainer watching re-runs of Rockford files.
