Course Corrections

Adjusting to conditions on the ground.

Well, we didn't all ride 23 miles.
Stan rode the whole 60-mile route.
Super-rider, Stan.

Day was a bit complicated,
Though well thought through.
Today's heat index, forecast over 100.

We started on bikes early. 
From Fishkill motel, rode to
"Walkway over the Hudson State Historic Park."
It is a bridge dedicated for only
pedestrians & bicycles.
Very efficient, beautiful views, safe riding.
Motel to, and over bridge ---
Those were our 23 miles.

Ken rented a U-Haul truck into which
Bicycles, luggage, food supplies were loaded.
Half of riders could be loaded into
Company van.
Front seat of U-Haul held two more riders.

First load was driven to
Howard Johnson motel, Saugerties.
People, luggage, makings for
PBJ lunch unloaded.
Back to Fishkill for rest of group.

Bikes are staying in the U-Hall truck.
Tomorrow will be about the same,
With shuttling people, not riding.
Once again, high heat-index forecast.

I'm grateful for attention
To keeping us safe and healthy.

Hugs,
Lin

Limerick:

When temperatures rise & it's so hot,
It's best to tuck in to a cool spot.
So, this is a day
To do what you may.
Conserve your good nature—rest a lot!
