I had my daughter this weekend, did some utility biking, if not actual commuting:
- On Saturday, I got a coffee ride in with the local group, ~ 30 easy miles and a bunch of nice camaraderie. This was on my gravel bike, whose chunkier tires handle our cracked-up pavement better than my road bike. {Here's the first half of it}
- Later on, I had my daughter join me on an eBike ride to the grocery store and back, for dinner ingredients. Two big packs of chicken legs from Aldi, $5 apiece. I grilled them up and fed two dinner guests plus the 5 of us, then had enough left-overs for several more meals. After dropping off my daughter, I went another 10-15 miles and checked out Cheeseapalooza and a car show with over 1,000 cars. Being in Kenosha, AMC was well-represented. 20 eBike miles total. {Strava Link w/pix}
- Sunday, we spent the afternoon in a local park called Petrifying Springs park. I threw my folder in the back of the car. My wife sat and read a book and went for a short walk. (her hip is still messed up from the car accident 3 months ago) I got two rides in, one 4.7 miles, the other 3.4 miles.
- Yesterday, we went to the beach. Daughter mostly played on her phone and rode in the car there with my wife. Wife read and walked again and we soaked up some low angle sun. I went separately on my gravel bike, and got a 9.7 Zone 2 ride in.
Back to work this morning, 4 miles commuting on the eBike to save my legs a bit for tonight's ~20 mile Turtle Tuesday club ride, which I'm leading. I think we'll do some gravel, maybe 50%.
