The week started out well. Actually, it was pretty good until Sunday. Then I lost all my energy. Coffeeneuring began on Saturday so I had to do longer rides to compensate for the hot cocoa calories.

SE wind so I rode down BBD to Flatwoods Park. I have been there before the Pandemic. I rode through Trout Creek and felt my back get soaked. It dried out quick enough. I only did one loop. Lots of riders. I flinched every time I heard "On your left!" I have ridden near anyone in months. I stopped at the new Starbucks at Hunter's Green for Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa. The wait is long. I saw it being made but he didn't call out my name as he set it to wait. By the time I could ask, the whipped cream was melted. I went outside to drink and saw my bike had fallen over. My helmet was on my handlebars. It is probably time to get a new helmet. My chain was also knocked off and bottle cage broke. Coffeeneuring always seems to cost me more money than just the beverages.
21.71 miles 12.0 mph

Late start. I tried to replace my broken bottle cage but the bottom screw would not come out. It was rusted and WD40 didn't help. Hot and humid. I am glad I filled my bottles with skratch. I rode down BBD to Tampa Palms. My body did not want to ride. I blamed the wind on the way down but it was no longer and excuse riding with the tailwind. I ride to Starbucks in Wesley Chapel. White Chocolate ahoy Cocoa with Toffee Nut Syrup. Good. Rode the long way home. A mile longer but no busy roads to cross. My legs were cramping on the way home.
