Today was a very good day for my riding activity! In the morning I had to take my trike back to Jack's in Dearborn, where they replaced the plastic tubes which encase the chain as it travels between the front of the cycle and the rear, as they had come loose and become damaged, after getting entangled in the gears. Richard cautioned me, "With the folding of the trike for transport, and all your riding, it's normal that fasteners would loosen over time. That's what happened here, so you need to check them periodically." I was glad to know of this, and told him when I left, "I keep hoping that one of these weeks I'll be able to stay away and not bother you!" He laughed, "Oh, you don't bother us!"
Then this afternoon, I rode the expanded part of the Lohr-Textile Greenway, about whose existence I had speculated yesterday (after Doug told me a few weeks ago about their plans to extend it this spring). It now continues along Textile over roughly half a mile or so past State Rd., to Marsh Park, so I rode there and then back home, a round trip that gave me 9.5 miles in an hour and 6 minutes. It always feels good when I ride right after a trip to Jack's, as I generally hope and think that I should be in fairly good shape for a trouble-free ride at such a time.
