According to my Garmin it was 26℉ this morning and 64℉ on the way home. Guess which segment I enjoyed more? On the way home I was passed, at a high rate of speed, by a couple of dozen police vehicles with sirens blaring. They were mostly Berkeley County Sheriff vehicles. The others were unmarked. I don’t know what was going down but I assume it was pretty serious. Looking forward to the 3 day weekend.

Another overcast chilly January day. Low of 33°F this morning. The traffic lights were not kind this morning. I was stopped by every one of them heading out of Summerville. It is hard to stay warm when you are waiting on traffic signals. Winds were calm which was welcomed. Ride on. Relive ‘Commute AM’ Relive ‘Commute PM’

Waited for the rain to end. Wasn’t looking forward to today’s ride but went anyway. As usual, I’m glad I did. Typical January day with an overcast sky and cool temperatures hovering around 40℉. Hope next weekend is better. Relive ‘Gloom Factor 9’

The heatwave had to end sometime, unfortunately. Garmin registered 30.2°F for the minimum during the morning commute. The sun was shining and a tailwind was blowing on the way home. Pretty good commute for January. Ride on. Relive ‘Commute PM’ Relive ‘Commute AM’

I have mixed feelings. Don’t know whether to feel a level of accomplishment or be embarrassed. Spent about 500 hours or 20 days in 2018 on my bicycle. Those 8.5 thousand miles were mostly fun so what the hay.

Another great day in the South Carolina Lowcountry. No drama commute. Ride on. Relive ‘Commute PM’

Today’s century ride was perfect. I even had a little energy left at the end. I’m usually spent and struggling by mile 80. I’ll attribute feeling good all the way to the end to: An abundance of sunshine A lack of headwinds An early start Cool temperatures Nutrition (although I didn’t do anything different) I went to bed last night excited that today was going to be awesome.

Snagged the Red Bay Rd KOM with the help of a strong tailwind. So nice to see the sun again. Looking forward to tomorrow. More sun, less wind, and more miles.

One year ago today we were getting snowed on. It couldn’t be further from that today. Maximum temperature was 70 ℉. Sweet. Left the apartment this morning with two left hand gloves. Didn’t bother to go back. No gloves necessary. The ride home was sloppy. Rained periodically throughout the day. No rain on the way home though. Ride on! Relive ‘Commute AM’

What a way to start off the new year. A century ride to the beach with temperatures in the 70’s °F. Crazy weather and I love it. The route to Edisto Beach is fairly scenic if you can ignore the roadside litter. There are cypress swamps, marshes, beautiful oak trees, a variety of birds and of course there is the ocean. Good day on the saddle. Photo album Relive ‘Edisto Beach Century 💯’
