Quick update. I have been managing to still get in approximately 100 miles a week on the bike. There have been some weeks and weekends where the weather has made riding tough. A couple of weekends back, one of my daughters was involved with a service project to rebuild a trail at the Hemlock Bluffs park in Cary. I needed to take her there from Chapel Hill, and planned to take my bike and ride the roads around Jordan Lake. However, as luck would have it, that day came with 30 MPH winds, and I chose to run instead. I managed to run one some of Raleigh’s greenways whilst my daughter toiled with wheelbarrow and wood chips.

I also got to run on the Reedy Creek trail, which is the one that has the bridge over the Raleigh beltline. I was glad for the chainlink fence on the bridge as I might not have run across in the fierce winds fearing I’d fall off on to the cars below!
