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.

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.

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%.

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.

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.
