Cycle Ti Thunder

Last night for my evening ride I decided to do my old bike commute to the Albany State Radium Springs campus. I rode this route for several years when I worked there. Now I work on the Albany State Gillonville campus, The Albany State Radium Springs campus commute route that I love is 25 miles. The Albany State Radium Springs campus direct commute is about 8 miles. The Albany State Gillonville campus direct commute is 4.68 miles.

Flint River flowing higher than usual. Yesterday on my ride home I had the pleasure of riding five miles before remembering that I had forgotten an appointment.  Saturday is the day of the marathon in Albany, GA.  I am going to be a race Marshall like last year.  I needed to pick up my volunteer packet back in downtown Albany.  So I turned around and road back into town.  When I got to the Bridge House on the Flint river the building was shut tight.  I was confused so I called my neighbor, Rachelle Bitterman, who works for the Albany Chamber of commerce to asked her what was going on.  She told me that the volunteer pickup was the next day, Thursday.  I got back on my bike and started home with the happy notion that I will add 10 miles to my commute. While I cannot post pictures of 4 inches of fresh snow like by fellow bike commuter  +Kent Fackenthall I can post pictures of the Flint River.  Yesterday at the start of my ride home t...

 I took a nice slow cycling trip along the Flint River trail this evening. Sometimes I just do not want to deal with traffic. I am glad that I have a big tire bike that can ride on any terrain with ease. East side construction of Broad Street Bridge over Flint River.

Radium Springs Green Space. Blue star is where I stopped on my bike. I rode my bike during lunch on Thursday.  I discovered that the Radium Springs Green Space had been maintaining the old golf course by mowing the grass.  I rode my road bike into the old country club parking lot and had a wonderful view of the Flint River. I had a nice bit of peace listening to the sounds of the river as it flowed by. My bike had fun resting on the lush grass.
