Expedition

This was a rather short one (TWSS), only about three and a half miles round trip from home. I aired up my rattletrap of a cruiser that's sat unused for months, then headed out at about ten after four in the afternoon. Ten highly strenuous minutes later, I found a woman and some children playing in the field. So as to not exacerbate the "total creeper" vibe given off by a guy slowly pedaling across a soccer field occupied by children alone on a friday afternoon while staring at a gps, I didn't take any photos at the site. All I've got is a photo of my shadow on the return route home.

Tracklog

My GPS unit clearly spazzed out for a couple blocks near the beginning. Le sigh?
