Cold, windy, hilly and dirt roads

 This the second time I have written this blog.  The God damn computer deleted the page.  God damn geeks are running our world and their lack of common sense is non existent. When I seize power there will be military style boot camps for all programmers.  Rigorous  physical condition will be followed by the retraining of their brains to understand and apply common sense to their lives and any future programming they perform.

I departed the Sherwood municipal airport at 9:40.  Having forgotten to bring my cold weather jacket (always always always something gets left behind) I layered up and used my wind breaker, scull cap under my helmet and long fingered gloves.  The Google map bike route was terrible, dirt roads with loose washed stone and hills upon hills, it  eventually took me to a road that was totally over grown.  Enough of this genius bike route and back to a basic car route.  The new route added thirty miles which essentially cancelled out the twenty-five torturous miles I had already ridden.  Thank you Google,  privately I will tell you what I really think of you. Eventually I made it to Richmond which had a decent but funky hotel in stages of renovation. A former railroad station with charm. Vincent, who sold the family dairy farm to his brother, took the proceeds and bought the station.  He showed me the progress and I was able to help him in how he should go about renovating various rooms. He cooked me dinner and showed me around town which included a stop for beer, ice cream and a charging cord.  If I were younger, i could see getting a train station for myself.

The legs are sore but I hope tomorrow I will have a longer ride.
