what's happenin'

The ducks have had an okay week thus far.

Tuesday: 15 mi down Gregory, Starlight, Swope back to Plaza, back home
Wednesday: 15 mi through Hyde Park, west to Karnes Blvd, south to home - an extra couple miles thanks to chasing a run-away Greyhound that was almost hit by several cars on Wornall. We didn't catch him, but maybe we wore him out...
Thursday: off
Friday: We were shooting for 20 miles - didn't get there. The Riverfront Trail was a bit confusing. We started by the Isle Capri casino and thought we could head west for 10 miles, making a 20 mile ride. It wasn't marked well, and the elevator that would take us up and into the River Market from down below wasn't working. A walker told us the elevator doesn't always work after business hours....and that the trail only continued for about 5 blocks once you crossed the bridge anyway. It was a slight disappointment, but perhaps we'll discover a better section of the trail later, and it is good to explore and try new routes.
Saturday: Today we're going on a breakfast bike ride. Not sure where we'll end up, but need to get some miles in since yesterday we only got 5.5. Yikes!
