2025 cycling week 48

November 24-30

This week was different. I ended up working three half days with Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving. I didn’t ride in the mornings even though the temperatures were not very low.

I rode usually after lunch. I did some errands and some longer rides. Nothing longer than 21 miles.

I strained my left quad on Saturday doing squats. (Being old sucks.) It wasn’t happy every time I started riding after a stop but was fine once I got going.

This week 130 miles (Strava 125)

This month 524 miles

This year 5,458 miles (Strava 5,253)

Streak 2,101 days

On Monday, I rode to have a mammogram. On Tuesday, I rode for a hair appointment and to have the chain and cassette replaced on my bike.

I rode in the morning before work the rest of the week. Only Friday was a bit cool.

I did grocery shopping on Saturday to Publix and Sprouts.

I did the final Coffeeneuring ride on Sunday. I went to the farthest Starbucks I thought I could travel with my e-bike.

I rode at lunch time on Tuesday because it was below 50º in the morning. It is nice to ride in daylight.

October 27 - November 2

The mornings were cold this week but I managed to ride. It didn’t seem as cold to me as in previous years. (I wonder if my metabolism is coming back up and keeping me warm. I do feel warmer through the day as well.)

I did groceries on Saturday.
