Felt so good to get out on the bike yesterday (and I mean the bicycle, not the motorcycle!) Realized Steve would not be working on Good Friday, so my day off turned into a catch up day. So I took my Thursday (time off until evening) and made it a healthy day.
Headed for the Musketawa Trail where it is nice level riding. Ok, there WERE ten new caches put out on it the other day. But the fun was also in the riding. I installed my new bike mount for my GPSr that Scott had given me for Christmas. Makes caching on the bike a LOT easier. About 2 1/2 miles out and then 2 1/2 miles back to the trailhead. A bit brisk this morning but when pedaling you don't really notice it. Saw lots of signs of early spring along the way - wildflowers, trees budding out, frogs, birds, and even a snake that I stepped on while searching for a cache. Thankfully, it was in a leaf-filled area so I didn't do any damage to the snake.
After completing my ride, I went on to the nearby town of Coopersville and took a nice long hike in yet another pretty park (yep again, a cache involved) which was about a mile long. Found two caches there, too. Add together with a few other shorter walks for other caches and my mileage for the day was 5 miles biking, about 2 miles walking. Oh, and 14 caches too. Got to work with 10 minutes to spare. My last evening with the Thursday night Noogieland cancer support group.
Your posts sure explain why you were thinner when I saw you at Graduation. I may not totally agree with the time you spend on geo catching but I do like the amount of excerise that you get while doing it.
