I managed 12 rides in April, for 459 miles. That’s about what I should be riding in April. For a change, I got in some outside riding. 10 of those 12 rides were on the F-5, on the road. I had to modify my routes, with the closing of Purtis Creek State Park, which is where I usually turn around on my shorter routes, and stop in on my longer routes. It has likely reopened now, but not wanting the human interaction at the gate, I’ve continued to ride my closed park routes.

I ride past the state park, then on to FM1861. I usually turn around at mile 15, and on 40 mile rides, I’ll turn onto FM316, and ride some miles out it before turning around. On my longer routes, I still ride out FM1861 to State Highway 19, then back. I just don’t stop at the state park like I usually did before.

My last ride of the month on the 27th.
