2026 cycling week 03

January 12-18

Not a very good week for mileage.

On Monday, my front tire finally gave up. It was the original tire and tube on the bike. It last just over 14,000 miles.

whiule i was at the bike shop, randy gave me my medal for riding over 3,00 miles in 2025. the app became available in march so i missed 5,000 miles in the app.

I managed to get a new tire on, with much difficulty. But when I went to ride after work, I realized it was not seated correctly. I continued to the bike shop where Randy worked on it for over 20 minutes and got it 95% there. He over inflated the tire to 70 psi when I normally run at 40 though the tire can take up to 65 psi. I didn’t notice any wobbled as I rode home.

I got a normal morning ride on Wednesday.

It was raining on Thursday morning so I rode at lunch.

It was very cold on Friday and I had planned on going to chiropractor at lunch. I did a short ride so Ryan would have to wait and then he decided it was too cold for him to leave the house. (It was 50° by then but he hates to wear pants.)

Saturday was errands.

On Sunday, I rode before lunch because the weather was going to take a turn. I did some errands and also got a #BirthdayMonth treat at Einstein Bagels. I got a free breakfast sandwich which I ate on the bench outside of Sprouts.

This week 99 miles (Strava 98 miles)

This year 289 miles (Strava 277 miles)
