Nice ride.
I played leap frog with a freight train. I heard it and it's horn as I left the house. I dug deep to beat it to the crossing in Bellevue (Old Harding Road). I was well past when I saw the crossing lights/bars drop in my mirror. At the next point It was ahead of me as I rode the Music City Bikeway (Post Road section), then I passed it again on the Richland Greenway. We got to the crossing (overpass) at the corner of Ackland and Nebraska at the same time, at which point it headed on over toward Charlotte Pike and I headed toward Centennial Park and downtown.
It was fun but i can a feel a little extra muscle burn.
temp was right at 30 degreess F, mostly a clear sky and dry for a change.
