20 miles, that is what I need to at least finish up the month with a decent amount of ride time. Today I lost at least 20 miles on the Garmin that has been used for almost four years. Poor thing just quit taking readings at 1:46 and change. What that means for me is tomorrow the Garmin gets all fired up and I hope it still works. This one has been bomb proof, well, mostly me proof as the poor thing has been dropped on a numerous occasions, and until today worked perfectly. Ack, 600 dollars, don’t want to spend the cash!
Well aside from that little hiccup I forgot my helmet last Saturday for a local Brevet ride and instead of asking for one I just went home and rode 90 miles on my own. Why 90? I got lost. Yes, lost. Ending up out by Mt. Washington was neat, but just a little farther than the ride was meant to be. In any case the ride was pretty fun. Too much wind….. and speaking of wind
Friday we went to the winery. Lovely day, except for the wind. Holy smokes it was 35 mph into my face for two stinking hours. I just hope it will really “make me stronger” because the wind was, truthfully, trying to kill me. The wind was really some of the strongest I have intentionally ridden in. Very strong, very unhappy me, but very happy to have ridden my bike.
As for being happy, the weather is soon to make me happy. More on that in a bit. I may have photos soon. Soon. Be safe out there and be careful on the roads.
