5.5 miles - Forest Park
Peter and I made today a photo safari bike ride. Peter got a new camera sling bag and had to test it out. Like always, I absconded with the large DSLR to take a few photos. But my trust P&S still does great with the macro work. I love the bee photo.

8.5 miles
I forgot my camera today because I was SO excited about getting my odometer installed. (Thanks papa!) It was a hot afternoon ride. The odometer has many features including a temperature reading.
I'm not sure how or where it measures the temp. It kept fluctuating between 87-97 degrees depending on where I was in the park. Perhaps it had to do with riding on asphalt and the varying temperatures in sun and shade. Average speed was 12.5 miles. I think that is pretty good considering the heat.

Here is a file photo just to keep the blog interesting.

10 miles - around the park - planetarium side
83 degrees
It was a beautiful afternoon bike ride. I finished 9 miles in 42 minutes. Then I took a break, called a good friend I can never get in touch with. Talked for more than an hour in the park and then rode the last mile home....

Sunny, 68 degrees, 10 miles - Skinker Hill and random wandering through the park.
First of all I want to ask, Are we really in St. Louis? I can not remember a pretty August in STL. Usually it is 90+ degrees with 70%+ humidity this time of year. What a difference this year! I would never want to move from STL if Augusts were always like this one.
I'd also like to add that Forest Park is a park. It is not a way to cut through to your job driving at insane speeds because you're late. Yes, I'm talking to you, you stupid woman on the phone who almost hit me speeding through the park.
Even I need to look out for others enjoying the beauty of the park. Like these ducks that happened to be on the path this morning.
