Saturday Morning Ride

-
This was a decently long ride but one that I didn't really push my limits on.  23.4 miles is my second longest ride of 2018 following a 23.6 mile effort on March 14. At 55.6 miles for the week, this is my longest mileage week of the year.  Overall, it was a nice ride although I did have to fight a slight quartering headwind on the inbound leg. 


Here's the time-lapse video I took during the ride:


Some pictures that I took on this trip.

Jack was one of 13 children born to his father Calaway Daniel.  His mother Lucinda Cook Daniel bore 10 of those children prior to her death. Calaway Daniel remarried, but apparently Jack did not like his step-mother.  After his father's death in the Civil War, Jack ran away from home at the age of 7.
