Commute Tuesday November 10, 2020
Pretty sweet ride to work. Tacked on a few extra miles since I was enjoying the ride.
The ride home was a soaker once I got into Del Webb. At least it was warm.
Ride on. ☮

Lake Loop Century 💯
Sunny and seventies in November. Doesn’t get any better than that. The wind was the only thing not in my favor. Still baffled at how you can have a headwind the entire time on a circular route.
This was my ninety-ninth century ride. Need to decide where my 100th century will take me. Looking forward to celebrating that milestone.
Ride on. ☮

Commute Thursday November 5, 2020
Super nice weather today.
Left work an hour early and raced to The Bicycle Shoppe at 20.6mi/h average. Dropped off Old Yeller to have the headset bearings replaced. Picking it up tomorrow after work hopefully.
Ride on. ☮

Dark and 37℉ when I left for work. Dark and 55℉ when I got home. Winter. Ugh.

Bulow Landing November 1, 2020
Chased down rain heading east. Paused a couple of times under shelters to let the rain get out of the way. Dreading the northern wind in my summer cycling gear I made an effort to get home ASAP. Eventually the sun broke through the clouds so I caught my breath and resumed a normal pace.
Knee and hip are tender but not painful so I continue to ride hoping for gradual improvement.

Trick or Treat Century 💯
Was apprehensive about today’s ride after last Saturday’s pain in the knee ride. Turned out better than expected. My right knee was tender but not painful. Win!
This was century ride number 98. Need to get 2 more before the year ends to accomplish one of my goals.
Laugh of the day as my friend DVT says. It was in the low 50’s℉ this morning so I wore fingered gloves and packed half fingered gloves for later in the day.

Commute Thursday October 29, 2020
Remnants of hurricane Zeta provided a kind tailwind to work and soggy headwind on the way home.
Meanwhile I am teed off at my body. My right knee and hip ain’t right. From what I gather through YouTube is I may have an IT band issue probably brought on by my two falls on 4 October and 11 October.
Got goals to complete. No time to be taking time off the bike to heal.

Folly Beach Century 💯
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.
