It was a nice day for riding. I went from Weaver Park past Germania Springs, past Federal Mogul to the small electrical substation on the left. On the way back I took a ride through the parking lot of the Jacksonville Rec Center. Total of 18.52 miles. My average time was a little better today, but still nothing to brag about.

Latest news on "The Chief" is that it may be as late as September before it is finally connected with the Silver Comet. According to a report in the Anniston Star, bad weather in Cleburne County is the cause of the delay.

We are way behind in rainfall for the year already, but apparently Cleburne County has gotten more rain than everybody else in Alabama. Don't be suprised if these delays run into next year.
