Goal: 6 spin classes in the month and as much outdoor riding (mostly commuting/errands) as possible.
Since last update- 9/10: spin class
- 9/14: 3-mile ride at kid pace (but she braved the double-roundabouts like a champ!)
Totals as of 9/14- 3 spin classes
- 6 rides for 22.8 miles total
At least 3 "errands" rides in my future this week, assuming the weather cooperates.0 -

Nothing, I know, compared to some of you animals, but I'm enjoying the heck out of my bike, and it gives me a second activity to switch off with swimming.
Here are a couple pics from one of my rides
Our local scum-pond, also known as the Delaware and Raritan Canal:
Two roads diverged in the wood, and I, well, I have to confess I took the one that looked better traveled. Figured the other one would still be there next time:

Rode 43km yesterday and 20km the day before on the spare. Spare is...rough. Bent enough that I need to remove breaks to use it, and tread can actually slip off. Making due until new one is in hand.sheermomentum wrote: »9/6 4.69 mi

@PlunderingSteelGorilla - Have you checked out some youtube videos on truing tires? It isn't super-tough, but takes time & practice, along with a cheap spoke wrench.
Just a few miles commuting to the ballpark yesterday along with a fast ride this evening on the TT bike. I'm still getting used to the aerobar position, but I've been impressed with my flexibility. Almost time to slam the stem and jack up the seat!
