Weekend Bike Rides and an Upcoming Cave Trip
I ended up working all day Saturday, but finally at 5pm I was able to sneak away for a bike ride. I joined Cara and Gordon on a ride around Cary. We left from Gordon's house and made our way towards Regency Park. We rode through quite neighborhoods the majority of the time, taking our time and stopping occasionally to read the informations sheets in front of the homes which were for sale. All of us are in the market for homes in the near future so it was nice to get an idea as to what is available in the area. Of course most of the homes we were looking at were way out of my price range. In a few of the neighborhoods we visited it seemed that the average asking price was around 750K. I found some trails near hwy 64 which might be worth coming back to explore with the mountain bike. We ended up finishing the ride with 24 miles. It was quite a pleasant ride and we certainly worked up a good appetite for dinner.
On Sunday, Lee and myself went for a moutain bike ride in Chapel Hill. We took a turn we had never tried before and ended up finding quite a bit of trail we had never ridden. The new trail was rather rocky and it made for a challenging but enjoyable ride. We ended up riding a little bit over 10 miles and then headed over to Peformance to pick up some new bike gear. I ended up buying a new pair of shoes and some general bike cleaning supplies. After leaving Performance we had dinner at Armadillo Grill, and then I headed to Nadi and Natalia's house to celebrate the purchase of their new sail boat with dessert.
This week I need to get packed for our upcoming grotto cave trip. We plan to go to Organ Cave and do a through trip from Organ to Lipps. Organ Cave is a popular commercial cave in West Virginia. As a grotto of the NSS we have obtained permission to explore portions of the cave which are not normally visited by tourists. This should be an exciting trip, but before I go I need to repair my electric headlamp. Normally I use a carbide lamp but carbide is not allowed in Organ Cave.
