Well now that the hurricane is just about gone, it will be a long time before I can get a long ride in. Most of the roads around me have been washed out or still covered with water.

Just over 20 today. Little pain from the Glider, but I got numb. This may not be the saddle for me. 903 miles for the year so far.

Blow out cuts ride short
 

1.5 miles in, a tire hit a #10 self tapping screw, which went in to the hilt. I replaced the tube and inserted the section of tire I take along for blowouts that leave big holes. I rode home to get another tube to keep riding, but saw that I'd only have another 10 minutes riding time. Better days to come, for sure.

FYI, I like this 2006(?) Giant OCR TOURING bike. A really solid responsive ride without the bone shaking of the 1990 Cannondale fat tube frame.

Saturday - 36 mile solo road ride
Sunday - 29 mile group road ride
Today - commuted, will wind up w/ ~19 miles

I got a bad case of the lazies, and have not done a ride in the last few days.
I am just tired of this 90 degree weather with Fall upon us next weekend. I am ready for some cooler weather.
Got in 100 minutes today.

25 miles Monday evening on the hybrid, first longish ride in a week since it finally stopped raining and it wasn't muggy outdoors. Temp was around 90 but dry and pleasant. Not much energy but enjoyed the leisurely ride.

40 miles with my buddy Frank C today, after two days off.

Biked to work today. 21 miles.
Do I get any Cat 6 points for passing two e-scooters on the ride home?
The first:

9 miles Tuesday night, casual ride to test a new freewheel/chain combo. Everything seems adjusted well enough. Might join some friends for a casual group ride Wednesday night if I'm feeling up to it.

22 mile group ride (the Formerly-Tuesday-Now-Wednesday fast kids Club ride)

20 miles solo (more the rule than the exception out here in coastal Washington state).

40 miles Wednesday evening,including 16 mile group ride with friends. Almost hot but still nicer than July-August.

Commuted, so I expect ~19 miles after the return leg.

Actually, I was so exasperated by inane traffic in midtown that I did something I never do -- salmoned against traffic rather than going around the last block to my office -- so I wound up shaving 0.5 miles off the inbound leg. So call it ~18.5 miles after tonight. :)

Got 22 miles in and ran into closed roads due to the hurricane. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...896e7736ba.jpg

Wasn't sure how the riding would go yesterday since the knees have been talking back lately. :mad: Missed the midnight departure time but managed a 12:50AM roll-out under a star studded sky with an approaching full moon and almost no traffic. First segment was going smoothly when one of my Nite Rider lights detached from the bracket, hit and rolled yet still worked great until I got home. Tried to recharge and NO-GO, guess it's time for a replacement. Totaled 75 miles, showered, kit change, some breakfast, bike change to 2018 Roubaix and out for segment 2. As the sun rose into the sky so did the temperature. Into the low 90's°F by the time I made it back home with another 52 miles in.

127 miles on a day where I was hoping to just match my age of 68 so I have a few miles in the bank for next ride. :50:

Not today but yesterday. Was down in SoCal to move my daughter in to her school. Another beach trail ride with my buddy from Seal Beach to Newport and back. This time I borrowed his USPS Trek:

Yeah UCI. :)
I lived down there for a few years in the late 80's and my friends and I would also hang out at Huntington or Seal. Good times. lol

45 tandem miles today on a club ride southeast of Indy. Mostly rural, quite flat - only got onto the little ring once. Cooler than it has been for quite a while. High around 60 on the ride. And cloudy.

I had a much better ride today than I had expected after Thursday's longish ride. Legs were still tired but managed to hang on and even do some pulls. Totaled out at 73 miles.

Yesterday was the local charity ride, the wife, three kids and I rode the 12 mile route since it was the first time for the kids. I had gotten them all C&V steel rides and they have been training for a couple of weeks. The good news is that they are excited to ride more so they can go on the longer routes next year.

Today I went out and got 30.4 miles in. It got a little rough when the headwind got up higher than predicted but I made it. Sore, but thankfully not painful, knees. Tomorrow will definitely be a rest day.
