On the mountain bike, I like the tires around 70-80 psi, they were 40. That's what happens when you wait over a month between top-ups.
Edit: just noticed according to my records, I just passed 1000 commuting miles this year. Modest compared to some, but I think I'm on track to exceed last year's total.
Excellent... especially since you don't ride through the hell that is winter.
I have ridden a little more than 4000 km since the start of the year... have been ensuring I average 20 km a day / 140 km per week and got to rack up some extra daily mileage when I was in Portland this winter since the weather was so much nicer.
Am hoping to hit 10,000 km this year which will be the most riding I have done since I fragged the back... will have some of those 100km commutes coming up this weekend and those really crank up the total mileage.
One of these days we will actually have to get out for a ride... seems like we'd be riding at a pretty similar pace and could ride some vintage steel.
We might find a few other people who were interested and need to get in shape for the TdP in September.
