Monday musings: June 21, 2010
Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 15:08 Did you have a good weekend? I did. The weather here in Reno, Nevada has been unusual to say the least. Every time the weatherman predicts seasonably warm and sunny, the temperatures drop and the wind whips up. There is still plenty of snow visible on Slide Mt. and Mt. Rose. Last night it was 42 degrees. But all in all, yesterday and today were grand, with reasonably warm days suited to bike riding and gardening.
I found a great new bike route that gives me a solid 20 miles in. From my house in South Hills, it’s 10 miles to the end of the pavement on the old Toll Road, that parallels Geiger Grade on the way up to Virgina City. It’s a sweet ride, all on wide streets with ample bike lanes, then a short but pleasant wind through a subdivision and then up through the sagebrush on the Toll Road. I did it in 1.5 hrs.
