16.3 miles (avg 12 mph) on the trike from home. 6.2 miles thru traffic to and from the bike path but it's Sunday (lite traffic) and I left an hour earlier than usual.
The final chain routing / chain tube configuration works great. It accounts for about a 2.5 mph increase in less drag (and no longer tries to saw a hole through the plastic seat). This fun trike is now funner (yes, it's a word, I just made it up).
2015: 2006 Miles ♂ Weekly Avg: 109
2013–2015: 6680 Miles – Wk Avg: 110
Pedestrian = step in front of moving vehicle with mouth agap.

Yesterday we did 52.8 miles on the tandem. This morning we did only 27.0 out to Verrill Farm in Concord. It's strawberry season!

Ah cool! A couple of weeks ago I did 50 miles starting at the north end at Pulaski and heading south. The north end has a ton of really cool high railroad trestles. Not sure about the south end. I plan to finish the rest of it some time this summer. Waiting for a couple of dry days for the mud to dry out

I rode the Tour de l'Office this morning. I'll ride the course in reverse this afternoon. Perhaps I'll get wet, perhaps I won't.

16.5 mile group ride this morning on the
with the Kiwanis Coffee Riders. Mostly seniors, the youngest is 58, the oldest (group leader) is a very healthy 72. Moderate pace, beautiful warm day. Life is good.
Took the trike out around the neighborhood for 5.6 miles. Sheesh, these streets need repaving.

22 miles. Windy and hot. Felt like crap when ride was done. Felt like puking. All I ate today was a muffin and a bottle of water. I drove four hours while working then got on the bike. I have to watch my diet in this weather.

I tried but the freewheel wouldn't cooperate. 
I would suggest eating just a muffin and bottle is not the best way to diet.

Rode to and from work today. 22 miles. Had to be early for a 7am - traffic not so thick compared to my usual later rides in.

Bikes: 1985 Fuji Del Rey, 25" frame, 12 speed
14.25 mile after dinner ride, out 'n back from home. Time: 53.10 Avg speed: 16.2 mph Calories burned: 1164 (Age 54, and 6'0", 208 lbs).
Great ride on my classic '85 Fuji Del Rey, now that I replaced the saddle and tweaked the seatpost and stem down a hair. I found that I could keep up with a guy on a real nice Cervelo with aero bars. He may have passed me at first, but he certainly didn't leave me in the dust. I shifted up to the 52T chainring, sped up a tad, and was able to gently keep pace about 25-30 feet behind him. All on a heavy steel framed (24 lbs), "old school" vintage Fuji 12 speed!

24 mile bike commute today. A bit hot (90) on the way home but just about perfect on the way in this morning.

A spirited 20 miles of rolling hills along the lake, out and back, in beautiful sunshine and 30C temperatures. I love summer (and cycling).
