Thought more than once about driving to work but saddled up. I’m glad I did. Another good commute in the books. Relive ‘Commute AM’

Beautiful day for a ride to Lake Moultrie. Clear blue skies with an average temperature of 54.9 °F. Before the ride I had a little maintenance to do. Replaced the front disc brake pads. They were screeching on the ride home yesterday. The new pads are super grippy. Love ‘em. Degreased and lubed the chain. Inflated my 700x32c tires to 80 PSI. I had a flat yesterday and the little hand pump can only do so much.

Today was good, real good. I put some miles on my bike, temperatures were in the 60’s ℉, and I celebrated Christmas with my family. Perfect Photo album Relive ‘Ride to BFC’ Relive ‘Ride from BFC’

Nothing like a bike ride to relieve work place stress. The ride home was just what the doctor ordered. Ride on. Relive ‘Commute AM’

Wet and chilly (34°F) ride to work. Dry and sunny ride home. I was on the road by 4:46 AM. Waking up so early is tough but totally worth missing rush hour traffic. So much safer and less stressful. Ride on. Relive ‘Commute AM’ Relive ‘Commute PM’

For the second weekend in a row it rained and rained some more. It stopped around 3 PM today allowing me to squeeze in a ride. The Garmin says the average temperature was 35.8°F. Where does it come up with these temperatures? It was in the low 40’s. The wind was blowing mostly favorably. 7,874 miles logged in 2018. I want to hit 8k before the year ends. That shouldn’t be a problem as long as the weather cooperates just a little.

Broke tooth number 4 - 2nd bicuspid (2nd premolar) Wednesday night. Dentist repaired it this morning. Took a short ride to expedite wearing off the numbness. Relive ‘Drain the Novocaine’

There was a down power line across Hwy 17-A this morning. Firemen secured the area. I took a detour onto Horseshoe Rd. On the commute home I got a work alarm had to deal with. Not a very smooth commute either way. Oh well. The weather was good. Relive ‘Commute PM’ Relive ‘Commute AM’

Garmin computer reported a low of 27°F and an average of 29°F on the commute this morning. I believe it. I did not enjoy the AM ride. The PM ride was much better. The temperatures are on the rise over the new few days but unfortunately so is the chance of rain. Relive ‘Commute AM’ Relive ‘Commute PM’

Garmin computer reported a low of 32°F on the commute this morning. I kinda doubt that. I’m thinking it was mid to upper 30’s. Average temperature on the way home was 41°F. Thursday morning is forecasted to be in the upper 20’s. We’ll see if I brave that commute. Relive ‘Commute AM’ Relive ‘Commute PM’
