Two goals one day. My daughter texted me yesterday asking if I wanted to walk today. Before I could answer yes, I told her I had to find where my bike ride would fit in. So I left the house at 5 am this morning and rode for 17 miles. And later we all walked the beach. Both goals accomplished.

Yes I did my 25-mile ride. Heading for the 100-mile goal. Did not make last week due to rainy weather.

Did manage to squeeze a ride in today (5/20) before more rain arrives in the area. Yesterday was nice also, but spent a good bit of it cutting the yard while it was dry-still some wet low spots. Anyway--18.6 miles, mixture of flats, rolling hills, some decent harder hills. Rode the hills much better than last time (hard not to!) Haven't been out much this year, but a little more confident that my "hill legs" will come back to me once I can get more rides done. Good day-met some nice people, climbed some hills (slowly, but surely). Rode with a neighbor who has an e-bike, but was ok with riding at my pace and could have left me on the hills, but waited. No complaints from me, but my legs might throw some in!

I was able to get out and ride with my brother today? We originally were planning on a 20 mile ride but the ride ended up being 33 miles as I missed a turn and my brother took the lead to get us back on track. Either way the weather was beautiful and it was along the coast today.

It's another day of beautiful weather, so I'm pulling the kit out of the dryer, grabbing sunscreen, topping off the charge on all da wittle batteries, filling bottles, making a PB&J, and heading out!

Hadn't ridden in quite a while, took my folding bike on a business trip last week to Santa Ana, rode about 10 miles. If knee feels better hope to ride this weekend.

I escorted the wife for a 10 mile ride this morning.
Got her to leave the wide smooth streets of the neighborhood, and enjoy some chip seal and potholes with me.

I was able to get out and ride at 6 AM this morning on the bike path. The ride was 20 miles and the weather was nice.

Though rain was predicted so I stayed on the bike path today.
