Saturday Ride
Starting a new job Monday (new hours 7-330, I haven't got off this early in 10 years)!and pressed for time as I had places to go and things to do before then, so I got up at 530am (the time I will need to start waking up now anyway since work is in Landover! no more bike commuting
) and hit the road , Saw a huge patch of ice on holabird, saw it just in time, I got in 20 miles from Dundalk to Ft McHenry and back. NO, absolutly no cars @ 530am, I saw one bike ninja and several joggers in the city. On the way back there was some cars but not many. I got a flat at Mars @ holabird and had to change it out, now I only have 5 tubes w/holes laying around that I SHOULD patch at some point. I am weird about my bag tube being a patched one, now a patched back up back up I'm ok.After the ride I ran to Bike doctor and picked up another CO2 (I so should buy a real pump) and a new tube.
City Streets were well lit all around,since I winged the ride, most of my lights were about dead. charging for tomm though.
It was nice seeing bike specific route signs to fort mchenry, i didn't expect that.
I'm going to do the same tommorow, or something like it, my route from today is below, took about 1.25 hours, no clue on avg as I forgot to reset the speedo.
