One of the many great things about sandals is being able to wade in the ocean, river or lake. The cool ocean water felt great. Gorgeous weather today. Partly cloudy with temperatures peaking in the 80s℉. The outer back of my right knee starting hurting on the way home. Hopefully a one-off. Likely will take tomorrow off and monitor. Have I mentioned lately that I like yellow? Roadside daisies have been filling me with joy the last two weeks.

Wet ride to work but at least it was warm. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Another day, another dollar. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Zach at The Bicycle Shoppe finished a herculean repair job on Old Yeller yesterday. So I had to go for a ride. Felt so good to be back on Old Yeller especially with a new drivetrain. Rode like a dream. Weather was fantastic. Sunny 70’s ℉ for most of the ride. Pretty good weekend with back to back century rides. Not sure I’ve done that before. Glad to know it is doable.

Turning around and going home crossed my mind a couple of times when the cool headwind was like a brick wall. Kept pedaling and it paid off. The second half of the ride the winds were favorable. Still riding the backup bike but got a call from the bicycle mechanic while I was on Cane Gully Rd that Old Yeller was ready for pickup. There is still work to do but it is rideable.

Hip is healing slowly but surely. ☺ Ride on. ☮

Pretty sweet this weather is. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Fell on my right hip again while turning onto the wet slimy Herbert H Jessen Public Boat Landing boardwalk. So mad at myself. I know how slippery boardwalks can be. After yesterday’s ride I felt pretty good and was on the mend. Then I go pull this stunt. 2020 just keeps on giving. Ride on. ☮

Always a pleasure to visit Mepkin Abbey. Moss covered oak trees, green grass and a river. What’s not to like? Last night I was going to replace parts on Old Yeller that were damaged last week. Unfortunately one of the screws for the derailleur hanger was stripped. Not having a drill or spare screws the project came to a screeching halt. After this ride on my backup bike I stopped into The Bicycle Shoppe behind my apartment.

Took a spill at mile 57. While riding through the Riverfront Park I went from concrete to gravel and tried to get back on the concrete and fell over. The lip of the concrete was higher than I thought and acted like a rail. Fell over onto the concrete on my right side. Injured my hip, elbow and ribs. I could still ride pain free but walking was a different story.
