I was able to take Monday off and get 53 quality miles in with Sadie on the towpath. The weather looked a little iffy at first and throughout the day. We got started in the early afternoon, and missed the brief down pour just before unloading the bikes in the parking lot. There were a couple of other quick showers, one of which we stopped for under a bridge, but we pretty much stayed dry all the way to Akron.
The towpath had been extended about 1/4 mile further south and you could see where they are currently working on extending it further (within view of the First Energy building). Turning around, we had a slight tail wind and the towpath is downhill going north. Right before we got back to the car, there was a steady light rain for the last mile or so. Just enough for us to know we were pretty lucky to stay dry as long as we did.
Rick was bummed that we didn't drag him out (he's not a fan of the towpath). But he had his revenge yesterday; see the following link:

Fifty-something miles? Lucky dog. I think I've ridden more than 40 only once since September. (Last Sunday, I rode out to where the 'cross race was in Willoughby.)
Glad you're having fun and doing well.
It was great to see you at the Spin CX race! If it's any consolation, I haven't ridden at all since those 50 miles (aside from last Sunday's CX race and riding on a stationary bike).
