Today’s adventure featured the Recycle Bin Slalom obstacle course, cooperative weather (71° and breezy), and excellent cloud formations over Shaw Butte.
Community character check-in was strong:
USPS Jeep Lady waved and honked good morning.
Wild West Mustache Guy delivered his usual friendly greeting.
Bubba the Drummer successfully completed his snap-crackle-pop tune-up at the chiropractor and celebrated with a Mr. Bojangles Jig and a well-earned Whataburger milkshake. Rhythm fully restored 🥁
Safety bonus: helped two rental-bike riders choose the crosswalk over a high-risk median dash on Peoria. Community cardio still counts.
