I like routine! And timely reporting of my rides.
Well, not today, so I will finally report my Sunday ride.

Having grown accustomed to my Sunday ride to and around Salem Lake, a distance of 27 miles that jump starts my riding week. In fact that single ride is one third of my weekly milage goal through the winter.

With rain predicted for Monday, and my pantry thinning out, I needed to ride to a distant shopping venue. Aldi was the ticket and I had hoped to extend the ride by using a longer return route.

I wanted 20 miles total, but got only 16.65. On the return trip I was carrying 20 lbs of goodies, so I guess it all equals out factoring in the additional effort. Plus the ride provided a milestone!

After an eight month layoff, I resumed commuting in June. By mid June I had begun a serious effort to increase my mileage at a gentle pace. At the end of Sunday's ride I had boosted my YTD miles to 1006.84! Yes I am proud of the accomplishment!

Monday brought the promised rain, but I took delivery on the fork and tires I needed to complete the rehab of my Bianchi. Tuesday, circumstances required me to be available to take and make telephone calls. Today MORE rain.
