Boy, my rides are getting shorter and shorter, but that's only because I've bbeen coming home later and later. Need to come home early enough to be able to do another 40-miler.

27 miles seems like a decent ride. Not too long, not too short.

Ride starting Fri May 11 17:29:34 2012

20.61 km 67629.25 feet 12.81 mi 9759.00 seconds 162.65 minutes 2.71 hours 4.72 mi/hr

Went up to Norwood to catch a train carrying windmill blades, each two flatcars long. One of the flat cars carries no weight -- and is just there as a spacer. The entire train was 6000' long, and fully half of it was empty flatcars. The train came from out west, and still have its Union Pacific power (two). They were handing off the train to the New York & Ogdensburg, which was hauling the blades to its port in Ogdensburg. From there, the blades were transferred to trucks.

I don't know how fast they were running most of the trip, but when they were pulling the train into the yard, they were only going 7 miles/hour.

The lawnmower needed a belt which wasn't in stock at our Tractor Supply store, and the one in Massena had it. Rather than ruin my bicycle ride by driving up to get it, I decided that the bicycle ride would BE going up to get it.

Rode on US-11 out to CR-47. Was going to go all the way down to US-11B, but I started to run out of daylight, plus the clouds which had rained earlier were starting to threaten. The ground is very saturated with water this spring.

First ride on the Rutland Trail this season. Needs a bit of chainsawing and brush chopping. And it seriously needs all the ATV mudpits filled in.

Rode into town to go for a ride on Clarkson's single track. Either I'm just getting better at single track, or else I'm starting to learn where the twists and turns go, because this was an easier ride for me than the last time a few weeks ago.
