Did a few spin classes this week, but logged a big zero miles outside. Knee is bugging me, this is no good at all. Better safe than sorry though.

Strange, I think some of my mileage was deleted off the Spinner Database, though I'm not sure where. The database is missing 40.14 miles

Also, the grand Total is incorrect. Strange. I don't want to mess things up w/o Tom's approval, so I won't try to sort out formulae, but I may add back my missing mileage this week

Finally getting well again and got 19 mi in this week and a goose egg the week before.

Tom...not sure what the problem is but after 501 miles through March, I add 19 miles in April and my total miles dropped to 420.19?? I haven't tried to unravel the mysteries of your online spread sheet yet...

I have no idea what's happening and why As of right now, the only annual total I'm reasonably sure about is the grand total for the group

Reason for The Wheeeeee! in the earlier post.
The retired animals that I ride with decided it was time for me to Do bridges.
Going up the Dickinson Bayou Bridge was nerve racking as the only place is the White Line.
I wouldn't look into my mirrors traffic was very heavy. One driver honked at me.
Going down the bridge the computer speed read 27, 28, 29, 30 mph Wheeeee! Then I hit The Rumble Strip @ 30.3 mph. The Large Bell on the handle bars sounded like a fire alarm warning.

64.3 miles this week. Disappointed with today's ride:

Set out to do 30-40 miles at an easy pace. A bit of rain here and there, then I slashed my rear tire really badly on some road debris. Used the dollar bill trick to repair, but wimped out when I saw the size of the gash and just rode home. Total mileage: 19.6.

And I need a new tire.
