Monday was windy but I did my ride in the morning. I ran over a suicidal opossum on the SR56 MUP. He must have survived because he wasn’t there on my second lap.
Very cold weather came in Monday afternoon.
Tuesday was so cold I could only muster an 11 mile loop. The northern wind made my face hurt.
On Wednesday, I managed 14 miles and finally back to 17 miles on Thursday.

Friday. I was doing my step ups and something popped in my knee. Meniscus, cartilage, ligament? I don’t know. It hurt but I could manage to walk slowly. I had scheduled a half day off with plans to ride longer. I started out with a short ride to Aldi. Riding was fine. Stopping and started wasn’t fun. Later, I met friends at Ford’s Garage. I think the riding helped some getting the blood to circulate and start the healing.
I did errands on Saturday to Target and Publix. It was the last day of the month and I was 7 miles short of 500 miles. The temperature kept dropping and wind kept getting stronger so I stopped at 493 miles.
the car wouldn’t start so i rode to mcdonald’s to get fries for the boys. it is one of the things ryan insists on every week.
Sunday was bitter cold for Florida. At 2:00 pm, it was only 46° but felt like 36° I really didn’t want to ride. But I am not going to give up my streak. I bundled up and was surprised that I didn’t feel too cold. My jacket kept me warm enough and my hands even got a little sweaty in my heavy gloves. I rode to Sprouts and McDonald’s.

Though the morning were not very cold, they were foggy. I opted to ride at lunch Monday through Thursday.
I did some intervals on Friday.
I did my usual errands on Saturday.
Sunday was haircut day which means pizza with Andy. He opted to ride bike to Wiregrass. He hasn’t ridden in 11 months and is out of shape. We had to stop several times for him to rest. I rode my e-bike with the motor off. It is heavy and not easy to ride so slow.
We went to 900º Wood Fire Pizza because it had started to rain. I was hoping it might stop by the time we were finished but it did not. I gave Andy my rain cape and he rode home. I continued to Publix for groceries. And since it was my birthday, I stopped at Starbucks for a Frappuccino. I got fries at McDonald’s for the boys and made it home about 10 minutes before Andy did. The rain cape helped but he got wet. And he never complained.
