Another Errand Run!
Monday, October 15th, 2007
Riding in October is not that uncommon for Indiana, but riding in Mid-October, and getting hot while doing it sure is. Maybe I got used to the hot days through summer, but walking around in the high 70's seemed cool, so I switched from my mesh safety jacket, to my leather jacket. It is well vented, and nice to wear you are moving, but stopping gets you warmed up fast!
I began my journey heading north on my street. I could see squirrels darting across the street in opposite directions. It was almost cartoonish! I headed east on Tenth Street until I got to Franklin Road. I then went north, meandering my way along side 465 until I go to Pendleton Pike. I was trying to make a loop out of my trip, but I had forgotten about all the work on this street. After the delay, I made my way north and east to Post Road.
I went north on Post Road, and took the back way into the shopping center that hosts Star Financial Bank. I made my way to the depository, dropped in my envelope, and pulled away. My next part of my journey was west on 56th Street. I took the ramp to 465 and Shadeland, and continued on Shadeland, on my way to my personal bank. After making a withdrawal, I continued to Tenth Street, heading east to Kroger.
I only had a few things to buy, including milk, so I returned to the bike soon, and went next door to the post office to buy stamps, and send off some regular mail.
I then went north on Shortridge back to Tenth Street, and then east to my street. No wildlife this time on the pavement.
