Lunchtime 35km. Nice to get out again after being stuck indoors by rainy windy weather the last three days. Still a bit showery and blustery, but nothing serious.
Tried out my new bib shorts today. They were great so much better than cycling shorts without the shoulder straps. Wish I'd bought them ages ago.

15 miles out and back. Planned on 15 being the turn around but legs felt like noodles after a HiiT session on my Concept 2 rower the night before.

34 miles today. Longest ride since a hard fall about a month ago. Pretty much have my strength back but not quite 100% on cardio. I’ve been doing flatter routes to avoid working the hip muscles too hard, but that is changing!

20 miles today on a solo ride. Believe it or not, I rode on a few streets I had never ridden before (and I have been in my house for 26 years!). I used Google maps biking option to find them.

Took a 45 mile ride this afternoon. Scoping out routes to put together for another metric century and a clover leaf route for a American century.
Good ride but picked up a nail in the rear tire after 25 miles. Felt a thump thump. I guess if I ran tubeless I’d just had to add some air. It put a hole on each side of the tube.

It must a day to pick up nails.... I picked this up this 10 penny nail at mile 47, I run tubeless and did not flat, and made it home to finish with 52. Luckily, I was heading toward the house where I was going to take a left to add another 20 to the distance, but, nope.
The only thing showing in my tire was about 1/8th of an inch, but since it was not leaking, I left it alone. I was shocked when I pulled this out of my tire.

I might have to consider tubeless. So over two inches of that thing was embedded in your tire and you did not flat? I can see something like that making mincemeat out of a tube or even a tire. And you left it IN while completing the ride? Is it better to leave things embedded that remove them and allow the compound to fill in? As you might be able to tell, I know almost nothing about tubeless!!!!
This is the first instance that I know of where I have had anything breech the tire. I've only been using tubeless for a year, which is not much in the big scheme of things for a lot of people here. I am glad I left it in though, once I pulled it out, the sealant was not completely closing it up, and dynaplug took a little finagling to get it to stop the bleeding. But once I got that handled, it's fine now. I am still going to take the tire off tomorrow to inspect the rim and the inside of the tire to make sure all is good just do to the size of that thing.
