Ran over a rat tonight. Really nailed it, the rear wheel went airborne from the impact. Figured it must be dead, but I turned back to check and it was gone. Tough bugger.

Good ride. Need a better granny gear as I couldn't get low enough to spin up some steep parts at times.
Handlebar wrap broke during my ride. Had to cannibalize some old tape already on my bike. Lesson learned.

Another beautiful day! But with lots of pollen and allergens - ACK! Sneezing, eyes and mouth itching, nose running... only got 11 miles today. But under the circumstances, I'll take it.

April to date: 188.0 miles

2023 total to date: 797.7 miles
2023 Goal: 2,000 miles

All my miles are outdoor miles.
Think OUTSIDE! No box required.
