I enjoyed a nice 30-mile bike ride today, though it was windy when I arrived, with 17-knot winds gusting to 25. Temperatures in Springfield reached 9°C. No photos this time since I forgot my phone—and my music. I stopped for my favorite burger and spent half an hour chatting with a friendly lady at the coffee shop. By late afternoon, the winds eased, and the airport grew busier. I’d parked in my usual spot, directly behind a LearJet, applied my gust locks as usual, and used the Kansas nose wheel chock. When I returned, the LearJet was gone, my nose wheel had fully rotated, but the chock turned with it and held the plane securely. I love it when everything just works! All in all, a very nice day. I didn’t ride this particular bike today, but I did fit the kickstand extension—it fit perfectly, and I only needed to print one.
Exercising in Zone 2 for three hours a week has been shown to be great for your health, and honestly, it just makes you feel good.
