April 13-19

I am torn between letting my body recover and riding all the miles I can. Too many goals I want to accomplish.

I rode to the dentist on Monday.

I did errands on Saturday with a second ride to the outlet mall to Kohl’s.

On Sunday, I rode two large loops plus a little extra for 26 miles.

April 6-12

The mornings were still in the lower 60s but some days were windy. Florida is not like the rest of the country where March tends to be the windy month. April is windy.

I did errands on Saturday.

Andy & I rode to Wiregrass and went to Barnes & Noble. Then we crossed over SR56 and had lunch at Pizza Mania.

Andy then rode home alone while I went to Publix and McDonald’s. I still beat hime home.

This week 110 miles (Strava 105)

March 30 - April 5

The mornings are still nice. The wind comes and go but the e-bike doesn’t care.

I took Friday afternoon off and did my grocery shopping. I rode in the morning as well so it was 36 miles for day.

I did a couple of more errands on Saturday.

I did a longer ride on Sunday.

It was a nice week of weather and cycling. I rode in the mornings.

On Friday evening, I rode up to WingStop for dinner.

I did errands on Saturday.

I did an earlier ride on Sunday because it was supposed to rain in the afternoon. A cold spell is coming next week.

Mar 2 - 8

The morning are warmer so I am back to riding before work.

It is nice to have it done but I miss the sun and the cows.

On Wednesday, I took the afternoon off to get a hair cut.

The weather continues to get warmer and it may be time to switch my typical errand rides on Saturday.

I have been going to Aldi, then Target then Publix. But Aldi doesn’t open until 9 which means ai get done about 11:30. I was sweating this weekend and it will only be getting warmer.

Andy and I rode to Wiregrass. We went to Barnes & Noble then had pizza. Andy rode home and I went to Publix and McDonald’s.

This week 110 miles (Strava 107)

February 16-22

The mornings are getting a bit warmer except for Tuesday. Not much to comment on when I ride in the morning. It was foggy on Friday but not too dense. Well, except for drivers who think they should turn on their high beams in fog.

I did errands on Saturday.

I rode in the afternoon on Sunday. A cold front is moving in and was very windy. I love having my e-bike so I can push through those headwinds.

This week 116 miles (112 miles)

This year 879 miles (847 miles)

February 9-15

The cold lingered through Wednesday but then it was foggy in the morning.

We had plans to go to the chiropractor on Friday so I rode in the morning with the fog. I rode mostly on the SR56 MUP. I figured it would be safer than distracted drivers. There were two barriers that I could see because of my headlight. There were no warning signs beforehand.

I did grocery shopping on Saturday.

I did a longer ride on Sunday. It was windy AF and after 22 miles, my battery was at 19%.
