On my. This is a fun bike to ride. The single speed Wabi Classic arrived yesterday. Assembled and test ridden last night. Rode it work work today. I was a little apprehensive that it might be too tough for this old man to ride. Turns out the 46/18 gearing is just about perfect for the flat lowcountry. Speedy yet not spinny. Tough up a hill but not too tough. It might be too tough in a strong headwind.

Making the most of this warm weather. Forecast a week from now is for below freezing temperatures. Installed, poorly, a saddle I had laying around last night (Specialized Elaston). Came loose riding over a rock construction entrance about 8 miles from work. Rode it in like that. Was out of the saddle a good bit. Got it sorted for my lunch ride and commute home. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Rode down to the Ashley River. Roads were wet and it rained a little during the ride but the temperatures were in the seventies. It was all good.

I lost my cycling mojo. Monday I worked late and didn't feel like getting up at 4:30 AM Tuesday so I decided to bike to work Wednesday instead. Wednesday morning I got geared-up and headed out for my 20 mile commute. The first 6 miles I was asking myself why am I doing this? It is fricking 31℉ and I'm not having any fun. I turned around and went home. I didn't bike to work this week at all.

Ordered a fisheye lens from Amazon a couple of days ago and shipped it to work. Carried my DSLR to work today anticipating delivery of the lens. Arrived a few minutes before the end of my work day. Took a few snaps on the way home. I think I'm going to like the fisheye lens. You can get really close to the subject and still capture everything. Nice. Commute was great.

Revisited Bonneau Ferry for some gravel fun and scenery. Carried my Nikon D5500 and a 35mm fixed lens again. Kinda enjoy messing about with a real camera. Good ride. Ride on. ☮ Photo album

Last commute for this decade was a good one. No issues. Tolerable temperatures. Here's to a fresh new decade of accident free bicycle commuting. Cheers! Ride on. ☮

I lugged my Nikon D5500 DSLR camera and a 35 mm lens on today's ride. I wanted to see how much of a pain it would be to carry and if the photos were significantly better than photos from my Pixel 4. Carrying it wasn't bad. The strap would occasionally slide letting the camera off my back and around to my front. Might look into something like what Francis Cade uses.

Today I met my goal of 10,000 miles riding my bicycles in 2019. Feels good. 585 hours of good old fashioned fun. Not sure what my goal will be for 2020. Probably won't be distance related. Commute this morning was 21 miles in the twenties. The lowest temperature was 25℉. Chilly for this southern boy. Ride on. ☮

A trend I can get behind. Temperatures in the 70's℉ the second Tuesday in a row. Super nice. Good commute. Ride on. ☮
