The plans for today - get on the bike, go to Service which included a celebration of Pastor Jack's 20th year as a Pastor, the ride up to Frickers to watch the Brown's play. About 10 mins before leaving, the phone rang. My daughter was in the emergency room, taken there by the boarding school she is attending. With that call, all plans changed.
I did get on the bike, but to the hospital instead. She is having some trouble with her movements, most likely due to a medication reaction. But until they know for sure, they are keeping her for observation. She is a little scared because she has lost some control of her head movement, and occasionally some problems with her eyes. But I do think it is just a short term issue until they figure out what exactly is going on.
I did get to ride the bike for about 200 miles. Much of it is highway, so easy and relaxing riding. A few minor twists, but nothing to challenge the riding skills. It was a nice day for it; cool but not cold. And the sun shown warm until it set this evening. I started out from the hospital too late, and spent the last 45 mins riding in the dark. I hate that. But I made it home safe and sound.
The number of days for riding this year are quickly dropping. Cold weather gear is not stored in the saddlebags as I may be surprised on some ride, and need it. And the game, you ask? The Brownies lost, I am told. Maybe I did not miss that much after all...
