Biking to the grocery: July 19, 2026
I wimped out on a bike ride yesterday morning, but this morning was 17 degrees cooler and lower humidity. I wanted to ride plus I wanted more exercise than I’ve been getting AND I wanted chocolate milk!
My start point, the RV park, at the top. The mapping software took me across the highway via a crosswalk and then south through Ronan on quiet streets.
The last 1/8 mile was along the highway, but there was a sidewalk most of the way and a business parking lot that connected with the grocery for the last bit so I didn’t need to ride on the highway which was surprisingly busy for a Sunday morning!
A quick, easy trip and all fit in my bright orange, insulated backpack:
I know … eggs! They made it home with no damage. The backpack is not only insulated, but it has an extra thick pad against my back and plenty of adjustment so it rides well.
I did it and was so glad I took the ride. I was hot on return but not awful and a nice shower took care of that.
Emmett and Oscar were happy to see me back in one piece!
We roll 80 miles north to Whitefish tomorrow. I have several stops planned including a grocery stop for a big shop loaded directly into Wild Thing II.
Yes, I didn’t really NEED to go to the grocery this morning, but I went for the ride!
