 “Piplup at the Park” Cedar Park, 2024

Piplup and I braved the 99°F heat and went on a 17 mile ride. Lots of fun! I finished a liter of water on this one. I should bring more next time.

 “Piplup at the Skate Park” Cedar Park 2024

I enjoyed a delightful ride to the park today. With no one else around, I had the chance to snap a photo at the skatepark. I used to come here with my boys and skate. It was always lots of fun, even for beginners!

 “Sophie on the Trail” Cedar Park, 2024

This evening, Sophie (my 1972 Peugeot bicycle) and I went for a ride on the local hike and bike trail. Despite the scorching heat, we managed to ride to the end of the trail and back without any issues. Compared to my Brompton, the Peugeot is not very comfortable, though it is much faster. When I was 12, I rode this bike on a YMCA trip from San Francisco to Torrance. I don’t remember it being uncomfortable. In fact, I barely remember how I felt on the bike, but I do recall having a lot of fun riding and camping with my friends.
