Interesting ride today

January 12, yes nice day

Temp in the low 50s today, so I got out for 29+ miles this afternoon. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer so I think I will try to get in a long ride day. Interesting ride today, on my return ride I started to see police cars at all of the intersection then 2 helicopters started buzzing overhead, one police one TV channel, then police cars were driving up and down the bike trail. I stopped at the county softball complex to see what was going on and was informed that someone was in the area with an assault rifle. Don't know if that was true but there sure was a lot of police activity in the area. Rode on home and didn't get shot.

0 Gopher Tortoises today
5 Sandhill cranes
0 Deer

29..29 (s)miles today
151.35 (s)miles this month
151.35 (s)miles this year
5 ride day(s) this month (Jan.)

I don't think that it was a big deal after all, it didn't make the 6 o'clock news.
