I had originally intended to get up early and tack on an extra 10 miles just for fun. At 6:15 my wife poked me and asked, "weren't you wanting to get up at 5:30?" Yes. Yes I was. Oops. So I took the direct 9.5 mile to today's work location and didn't ride any extra.
This is me, seems like once a week at least. I set 3 alarms and sleep through all of them sometimes.
Uneventful ride this morning on the road bike, although super slow. 79 minutes moving time to go 15 miles. Bleh. 46°F, carbon copy of yesterday almost. Bike shorts and thin running tights, plus base layer, jersey and wind shell. And LONG FINGER gloves this time! Whew, no freezing hands like yesterday.
At some point when it gets cold enough I'll probably quit commuting on the road bike entirely and switch to the e-bike exclusively. And at that point it'll be time for my road bike's first complete tear-down to the bare frame, full cleaning and servicing and then back together with new bar tape, cables and housing. I can't wait to get to tinkering!
