Your Weekend Ride Reports -- January 25/26/27
Tell us about your cycling this weekend and surrounding week(s)!!
It's a long weekend here in Australia (Australia Day!) so I'm hoping to get some jogging and cycling in.

Just got back from a 124km solo ride. Hot day, temps reaching 35°C in the late morning. Reached home roasted, appetite is completely shot 🔥🥵

Overhead at the harbor!
I rode my ItalVega to the Ventura Harbor to see the high surf and it did not disappoint . Then I got rained on !! Good ride all and all , the drops were so large I could hear the drops on my helmet! Joe joesvintageroadbikes.wordpress

Same 20-25 mile rural route, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Fighting off some respiratory crud so I mostly took it easy. Weather not too bad, mostly high 50s-low 60s, even got a little sun Sunday. Did a few hours on the indoor trainer too.
Mostly taking it easy to let a knee twinge sort itself out. I messed up last week when I forgot to reset my saddle to the correct height and fore/aft position after experimenting with aero bars the week before. I had raised the saddle about 1/2" and forward about 1/4", then forgot to reset it when I removed the aero bars. Got a little too enthusiastic, slightly hyper-extended the knee while riding in the standard drop bar position. After correcting the saddle position (I'd left tape marks as reminders) and mostly spinning for a few days the knee feels almost normal again.
Good reminder of why TT/tri-bikes are so specialized now, particularly the fit.

Another perfect weather day on Saturday. I did a 40 mile ride to Upper Tampa Bay Trail. Sunday it turned colder. Got to try out some new cold weather bike gear. Did repeat ride to Upper Tampa Bay Trail.

Standard longer loop- solo, cloudy with sprinkles.
Waited for lane closure for TV/movie filming. The scene was a car off the road down the bank, and a fireman running down to attend.
Impressive number of trucks and folks standing around. Waited with a guy & gal, & she asked where I was going & I asked in return.
"Just to (next town)" she said, but I saw later that she had already come 100 miles with 20 to go.
Anyway, 71, 4,700' Late start, finished after dark.
