vinca at home depot

Monday was Labor Day. I rode up to Home Depot and came back with some plants and a broom.

not a good angle but i had plants and a broom other items carried on my bike

On Thursday, I rode to the salon and got a haircut. I also stopped at Home Depot for a couple of items I ordered ahead of time.

Friday afternoon, I rode to Walgreens for my Covid and Flu vaccines.

I did grocery trips to Publix and Target on Saturday.

i have to balance the milk to make the bike as even as possible

About an hour after I was home, I felt like I rode a hard 40 miles instead of the easy 13 miles. I thought it might be from me riding too hard during the week. But then I realized it was a reaction to the vaccines.

I felt a lot better on Sunday. I had no errands to run so I just did the large loop. It was odd trying to stay under 135bpm.

This week 116 miles

This year 4,012 miles (400 miles ahead of goal)

mums on sale at publix

The weekday mornings were typical, dark and muggy.

On Friday after work, I rode to PNC to pick up my debit card I accidentally left in the ATM. (I use the ATM rarely and forgot that they hold the card even though it looks like you are done.) Since I was out, I did grocery shopping at Target and got dinner from WingStop.

On Saturday, I did more errands; Publix and Michael’s.

This week 124 miles

Hurricane Debby came through on Sunday and Monday. I had to delay my Monday ride until after work and it was so windy that I only did 7 miles.

The rest of the weekdays were fine but very muggy.

I am not sure I could have been any wetter if I had ridden in the rain.

I did errands on the weekend. Twice to Publix because Juicy Juice was on sale.

My weekly mileage was a little low but since I have this surplus, I didn’t sweat it (too much.)

This week 88 miles

This year 3,560 miles (+360 miles)

Streak 1,625 days

It was a good week of riding though very muggy.

I did some errands on Saturday. I am trying to ride slower when I am doing errands. I need to learn to enjoy the ride and save the smaller gears. It would be nice to not get so sweaty but this is Florida, in the summer.

I planned on more errands on Sunday but Tropical Storm Debby came in. Rain was forecasted beginning about 9am.

I rode at 5:30 and did a single big loop.

This week 105 miles

This year 3,472 miles (370 miles ahead)
