Smoke rolled in heavy today. That combined with the heat.... I'll pass... Yesterday it was awesome almost NO smoke the whole 30 mile ride.

No ride today. Rain in the vicinity so the wife and I are headed up to Highlands, NC. Haven't been there in quite a while.

zzOtherlandzz 06-26-11 04:09 PM

I spent toooooo much time looking at stuff for the bike on the internet and not enough time getting ready for a ride..... Translation=I was lazy didn't go for a ride.....

No ride today. My knee was bothering me so kept waking up during the night. :notamused:

RonH 06-30-11 11:25 AM

No ride today. Had my MRI and having to keep my knee straight and still for 35 minutes didn't feel good. It doesn't like to be perfectly straight. Took some Aleve and now I'm watching a Netflix movie.

I didn't wake up to ride in the morning and when I got home I told myself there was too much traffic :(

I have a 26 mile commute in 95+, South Carolina heat. I take a day off now and then. Today is that day.

Indeed. I used to live there, myself.

Really busy day.... And still busy (sept for checking in on here)... Just ran out of time... and energy.... Will try again tomorrow.....

RonH 07-03-11 04:13 PM

I was planning on riding today but the wife said we're going to the Sunflower Festival. So some friends came over and off we went. Had a good time, bought some artsy-farsty stuff, ate lunch at the Yesterday Cafe in Rutledge and came home. Riding is definitely on for tomorrow. :)

zzOtherlandzz 07-07-11 05:38 PM

Feeling under the weather all day... Stomach bug or something. It has been raining for about 4hrs, so if i would have rode it would have been in the rain anyway. BUT we need the rain so that part is GREAT!

AMAlex 07-09-11 04:17 PM

Rain in the morning prevented a nice ride... I hate the rain in South florida recently...

zzOtherlandzz 07-11-11 03:04 PM

I had all of these plans to ride today..... I swear I did!!! Was going to get up and do another morning test ride on the touring bike. Was going to go pay my house insurance in town. Go to the Goodwill (yes I go to the Goodwill, find good stuff sometimes). LOL Figured hey got me a trunk bag now I can buy stuff. The both friends said "you better get some waterproofing stuff to spray on the bags before you get them all dirty)... Grrrrr so then I got all sidetracked and didn't go for a ride on any of my bikes.. LOL

Need to piece together my twenty to my height.

zzOtherlandzz 07-12-11 10:09 PM

Didn't ride today..... Cus I need money to buy more stuff for my bike..... Translation= worked all day!!

zzOtherlandzz 07-21-11 09:49 PM

Hmmmm ..... I'll make this post for the last 5 or 6 times I didn't ride................. HOT........ NOT..... Motivated enough to ride in the heat.

Wardj 07-22-11 10:12 AM

Gonna work about 14 hours today

Ironically I had two things that I was sort of obliged to do, but were in the way of each other. Either do homework or go ride my bike in this heat... ended up ditching both!

DEK 07-25-11 05:15 PM

Off day today. Should be back riding tomorrow - weather permitting.

Lindaosm 07-25-11 08:43 PM

nope, did get some riding in over the weekend. Took the mountain bikes with us when we went camping. Ended up riding around Rodman Dam out in Ocala National forest. Rode about 10 miles. HOT, HOT, HOT. But, best thing was afterwards we went in the springs (Salt Springs) to cool off. Total miles for the weekend...only about 17.

One of these days when I can con the one friend into riding, well this ride is his idea... but anyway.... A couple of months back he went through the locks in his boat... And he got to talking to the lock operator and mentioned that we were there one day and wanted to cross over the locks with our bikes but could not find the operator to let us across. So the operator asked if he was a member of the Florida Trail association (i think that its it).... Anyway Hugh said yep (not really a member yet, but thinking about it). So the guy gave him the gate code to unlock the gate so we can cross the locks. Now my friend keeps mentioning that he wants to do the ride from State Road 20 west of Palatka to the locks and across.... BUT... we haven't done it yet... DOH!
