Did about 20 miles yesterday in a strong breeze. Almost all of my riding has been on the weekends, and of longer duration (60-100 miles). I am hoping to up the frequency in order to make the weekend rides a little easier and faster.

Did and easy 20 miles with a Starbuck's stop at 15. I don't much care for the coffee, but they provide a nice place to sit down and watch the cars enter and exit the parking lot - very exciting.

No ride yesterday as I had to take the bike back to the shop. We finally found the cause of the crackling noise. Turned out to be the tolerances on the new bottom bracket were not quite like the old one and it pulled the chain in closer to the derailleur hanger causing it to hit the hanger when I put torque on the crank.
Anyway, a very nice (and quiet) ride today at the MUP. 35 miles before it went from sunny to very dark. Just made it back in time and got everything put away before it started raining. Didn't last very long, the sun is out again and the skies are back to being blue.

Didn't get out yesterday until after dinner. A quick ride to grocery store for apples and lemons.
Better go of it today. 60 miles with the wind picking up towards the end. Scheduled for swimming and jogging tomorrow with 70/80 miles on Saturday.

Rode to work this morning. Rode back home this evening. 20 miles total.
The humidity was so low that my glasses didn't fog up when stopped at red lights. Not complaining.

Another ride rained out before the scheduled distance. 27 miles today, thanks to Mother Nature.

Had a late afternoon ride, temps had gone down after the nearby thunder storms cooled things off, its still wet around the cotton fields after the heavy rains this week. Humidity is up in the mid 80% to 90% range, as is usual. No complaints, even the drivers and farmers on their tractors have been courteous, I return the courtesy, gladly. Today looks very good, weather wise, for a few additional miles, hopefully.

Great ride this morning with four friends: https://www.sportstracklive.com/track...g/1104335/full
Mostly calm, unseasonably cool (63F when I got up at 4:30 am
) and flat. Plus, with four riders I can take my turn at the rear longer. One flat (not mine) less than 3 miles into the ride. A few dogs, none too serious. Virtually no traffic on the back roads. One black cat crossed our path, but the flat earlier seems to have satisfied that.

Good solo ride yesterday, happy that I can still do an OK average speed over that distance.

Very impressive stats. I'll never match those kind of numbers. Starting out below sea level was also quite interesting...
but those were some wicked good numbers. Well done.

A morning without rain made for a very nice 40 mile ride today. Rode kind of slow on the northwest end of the park as the USF Women's Track Team was out practicing, so the scenery was worth slowing down for.

Question - Is the Bontrager computer set to your exact wheel size (700x32) pretty accurate?
