This is the perfect combination for fast miles or a softer surface with more resistance. The soft side is great for building power on the bike or soft impact running. There are a few street crossings that warrant brakes. Long gradual uphills make sweat while long gradual downhills make 20mph ear to ear grins.
Biking is good. Biking on the ATT is better. Railtrail gives me hope. Railroad previously depreciated property values. Railtrail is now an asset. Railroads were once the evil Goliath. This point of view is no doubt skewed from politics, news, literature, and the separation of time. Still, their legacy is pretty nice. What else can you do with property miles long but feet wide? Make a bicycling heaven.
Plans are looking up for another Silver Comet trip this year. Maybe even new friends this time around. Now I just need to complete New River. And find a way to do GAP/C&O. The recent positive Amtrak experience may be a building block for both. How many miles of railtrail are there?
Today was my first morning bike commute of the year without sleeves. After 20 years of acclimating to Georgia summers I do like it warm. Warm and humid. Don't send me north in the winter or to the desert. Base layers remain an unsolved mystery.
Spring is rejuvenating. Goals are targets. Focus on targets out there and ignore the targets on your back. Pretty much agree with that guy who said shoot for the moon and even coming up short will be great.
