Last day of June everyone. Get on your bikes and RIDE!!!0 -
I got 2 flats in 2 weeks so I had enough and I went to the LBS and we both think the rim tape rolled up its edge and cut the tube so I put in velox cloth tape on the rear and so far so good.
Mine was red but same exact stuff. Stay away from it. Funny thing is the LBS (specialized dealer) recommended this over the velox, until he saw it match what I already had installed. Before I walked in I knew I was going velox anyways.
I have 25mm Conti US on there now because that's what came with it but when they are spent I will probably go 28mm gatorskin. I am 6' 7" and <260 lb with a 22 lb fully dressed bike so extra ounces and drag are of little concern to me. lol
I just put a pair of Conti Gator Hardshell 28mm's on since the sidewall gave up the ghost on my Challenger gravel tires. The Conti's roll really well, seem super durable, but unfortunately for my tastes only measure out to be 26mm wide (typical Conti).
I'm only 6'4" and suited up in the 175-180 range, but these tires look nice and feel pretty durable.

6/04 - 31 miles @16.1mph w/1,500' climbing.
6/06 - 157miles @15.5mph w/7,150' climbing. 10hr11min moving and 11hr45min total. 8.5miles of which was milled paving and took me 40 min to ride over. New one day distance PR (by 5 miles and -1hr45min). Last of my endurance training rides so taking it easy the next 13 days.
6/13 - 24 miles @15.9mph w/ 1,000' climbing. Heat wave struck 3 days ago and I'm melting into a puddle of sweat with absolutely no energy. Woke up this morning and it was 89f/32c INSIDE my apartment.
6/15 - 12 miles @19.2mph w/ 550' climbing. I guess I can still ride fast. When i try.
6/20 - 202 miles @14.6mph w/ 9,000' climbing. New 1 day distance PR!!! Rained for the last 9 hours of this ride. Both Garmin and phone died. Me? almost. No energy mile 94-125, better the last 77 but was moving really slowly. Tired night riding for the first time (last hour) and it was actually kind of fun.
6/27 - 62 miles @15.9mph w/3,450' climbing. Did the whole ride with no stops/breaks. Left knee started to really hurt after mile 20. Muscles were feeling good after the week off though.
6/29 - 16 miles @19.3mph w/750' climbing. Again, nice to see i can still pick up the pace on occasion.
Total June miles:504
June goal miles: 725

I made it! And well over c:0 -
March Cycling: 409.33 km (254.34 miles) = 21 hours 55 min
April Cycling: 384.15 km (238.7 miles) = 20 hours 35 min
May Cycling: 259.06 km (160.9 miles) = 14 hours 5 min (including 45 min on trainer)
It is winter. The sun is setting at 4:45 pm, there's snow on the mountain, and it is cold. But happily, this is the month where daylight hours will start increasing again ... just need to make it through June.
June Totals
01 Mon - 60 min on bicycle on trainer
03 Wed - 50 min on bicycle on trainer
06 Sat - 100 kilometre ride on our Bike Friday Pocket Llamas (folding bikes). The route was relatively flat, but had the added challenge of rain for the first half of the ride. Fortunately it was a warm day for winter, and wasn't at all windy for a change!
That was the longest distance we have ridden the folding bikes so far. It was kind of a test ride to see how we would go over that distance. We were reasonably comfortable. I was having a few back/right hip issues, but stretching seemed to help.
100.72 km in 6 hours 25 min 34 sec total.
(Moving time was 5 hours 31 min 26 sec)
08 Mon - 60 min on bicycle on trainer
09 Tues - 45 min on bicycle on trainer in basement
14 Sun - 14.06 km cycling outside (45 min)
15 Mon - 37.6 km cycling outside (115 min)
