    Lisah8969. I'm glad you weren't badly injured. Great job for continuing on. :drinker: I did get a bike ride in today, but not without mishap. :embarassed: I was moving to the right to let a walker and a couple of other oncoming bicyclists pass and I dropped the front wheel off the pavement..........and ran into the fence. :noway: :embarassed: I was moving pretty slow at the time, so I was far more embarressed than hurt, mostly because everyone stopped to make sure that I was OK. :embarassed: I'm glad they checked , but I can't blame anything other than my own clumsiness. :laugh: This is probably why I spend most of my moving time on my own two feet. (Although I have tripped and fallen out walking too. :laugh: )

    Well, I had something similar happened to me last week... I was going downhill on my bike, and suddenly, NO MORE STEERING!!! My steering was straight, and my front wheel was turning left !!! :huh: :grumble: :embarassed: What an epic fall AND fail !! :blushing: :blushing: I came back walking beside my bike... :huh: Got a few scratches, but nothing serious. I knew I was to double check everything before leaving, and I didn't... my son put that bike together 2 years ago, and I took it out last week. I did check most of the bolts, but not all, and I KNEW I had to do it. But I was just too anxious to get out there... Needless to say that I'm now doing a routine inspection on my bike BEFORE I go for a ride! :ohwell:

    21.6 miles for the last two days. 6 walking miles yesterday & a fantastic 15.6 miles bike ride this morning.

    Below, a taste of the hills I have to deal with on a daily basis. I'm pretty sure anybody living in a hilly area can relate!

    And that yellow bike sign on the right... We do see those around here for bikes... And that yellow sign saying SLOW, well. No kidding. Don't really want to kill myself, so I don't really have a choice do I ! The funny thing is, when I was coming back, I noticed that same yellow sign while going up... No kidding!!! What speed do you think I'll reach going up, except turtle speed?!

    June: - Goal 450
    1st: 41.2 (39.58 Bike)
    2nd: 4.71
    3rd: 18.74 (17 Bike) - Total: 64.65 / 385.35


    Wow - that seems like a huge number I need still. My average is 15 miles per day = at the moment I've got that down to 14 but just barely. Hmm -- better be stepping it up a bit on the non-commuting days.

    @speedyf - Nice pictures. I love shady trails. Is that gravel though? I would be going super slow. I don't like feeling my tires slip.

    @verdemujer:
    On big down hills like this one, it's gravel over rock dust. I'm pretty sure they put gravel to slow down bikers. Not an easy descent and the ascent is even harder! No grip.

    4 mile walk. It's really hot out and at the end, the sky started getting dark and the wind picked up. I'm still waiting for the first clap of thunder.

    20.1 miles in on the bike today.

    Not feeling super stellar these days, but it does feel good to move... even if the moving then produces lots of chest phlegm. ugh.
