I went out for a bike ride this morning and found some citrus that was nearly ready to pick. There is a tree over the concrete fence on Cajun Dome Blvd. towards Eraste Landry Road.
The fruit is smooth-skinned and tight to the segments with a thin rind. The one I picked was sweet. I traveled a few more miles where there are some mandarin oranges with looser, more delicate rind. I picked a few and they were easy to peel and sweet.
On the way back, I stopped to take pictures of the ghost bike.
It was erected in memory of
Mickey Shunick.
I had a couple of problems on this ride as I have been slacking for a couple of weeks. My seat started to feel a bit tender after about three or four miles and at about nine-and-a-half miles, my right knee bothered me enough that I had to walk about seventy-five yards. My quadriceps muscle/tendon area seems to be the culprit. Here is map of the ride.
