I was hoping to get home from work a bit earlier and get out for a longer ride in the afternoon but things didn’t quite work out. Instead, I decided to take an easier ride downtown to the canal and back through the experimental farm. At least I could avoid much of the wind that I would have been exposed to on a longer countryside ride.

It was a fairly uneventful ride but the paths sure were busy along the river. That made for a very uneven pace as I slowed when approaching someone and accelerated past when there was a clear opening. I wasn’t in a hurry so it was all right.

I’m looking forward to doing this ride again sometime, especially as the kids get a bit older and can do some of it with me.
