The weekdays were warmer than usual. But it was windy and I ended up riding in Cargo a lot of the time.

On Saturday, I rode to Target & Publix for groceries

I did my Coffeeneuring Ride No6 on Sunday. It wasn’t a long ride but good enough to get me over my 100 mile goal.

This week 109 miles

The mornings were not as cool.

I think I forgot to charge my battery on Wednesday so I only did a short ride on Thursday.

The battery has degraded enough that getting two days of morning rides is not possible.

On Saturday, I did grocery shopping at Publix and Target.

I have to do more yard work so I made my Sunday Coffeeneuring ride a short one. I did a loop around Meadow Pointe then went to Starbucks near home. Since the other Starbucks have opened, this one is not too busy and the service was good.

This week 103 miles

If I continue my pace of about 100 miles per week, I should reach my goal of 5,000 miles in the next two weeks.

The weather calmed down this week except for a couple of very cold mornings. Wednesday was below 50°

And Thursday was just about 50°. But I managed to ride both days in the morning. I dressed warm enough with my bike tights and a pair of leggings over them.

It got windy again on Friday and Saturday.

I did my Coffeeneuring ride on Saturday because my sister was visiting on Sunday.

Hurricane Milton came through on Wednesday and Thursday. It rained all day on Wednesday, we got almost 11 inches! My ride was short and wet even with my Cleverhood. Thursday was drier but windier. I rode in the afternoon before I started cleaning up all the debris in my yard.

Cooler weather came on Friday morning. I was glad that I got one of my new long sleeve merino wool shirts from REI.

I did errands on Saturday. I went to 3 stores looking for chocolate milk.

On Sunday, I went to Sprouts and Starbucks for Coffeeneuring 2.

The wind was back this week. I end up riding faster when it is windy. It sounds counterintuitive but I push harder so my heart rate goes up so I click up to Cargo mode and then go faster and my heart rate goes back down. Rinse and repeat.

Publix and Target on Saturday morning.

The older couple who walked along Beardsley told me that my rear light was out. I saw that one of the wires had come out. I tried to fix it but made it worse. I rode to Oliver’s after lunch on Saturday. They fixed it for $20.

Coffeeneuring began this week. I rode by 3 Starbucks on Saturday but didn’t stop. I usually get a Steamer and it was too hot. I went Sunday morning. It was overcast and raining on and off. The steamer was good for that weather.
