I took Friday afternoon off and did my grocery shopping. I rode in the morning as well so it was 36 miles for day.

I did a couple of more errands on Saturday.

I did a longer ride on Sunday.

2026 cycling week 10

Mar 2 - 8

The morning are warmer so I am back to riding before work.

It is nice to have it done but I miss the sun and the cows.

On Wednesday, I took the afternoon off to get a hair cut.

The weather continues to get warmer and it may be time to switch my typical errand rides on Saturday.

I have been going to Aldi, then Target then Publix. But Aldi doesn’t open until 9 which means ai get done about 11:30. I was sweating this weekend and it will only be getting warmer.

Andy and I rode to Wiregrass. We went to Barnes & Noble then had pizza. Andy rode home and I went to Publix and McDonald’s.

2026 cycling week 08

February 16-22

The mornings are getting a bit warmer except for Tuesday. Not much to comment on when I ride in the morning. It was foggy on Friday but not too dense. Well, except for drivers who think they should turn on their high beams in fog.

I did errands on Saturday.

I rode in the afternoon on Sunday. A cold front is moving in and was very windy. I love having my e-bike so I can push through those headwinds.

This week 116 miles (112 miles)

This year 879 miles (847 miles)

Streak 2,185 days


2026 cycling week 07

February 9-15

The cold lingered through Wednesday but then it was foggy in the morning.

We had plans to go to the chiropractor on Friday so I rode in the morning with the fog. I rode mostly on the SR56 MUP. I figured it would be safer than distracted drivers. There were two barriers that I could see because of my headlight. There were no warning signs beforehand.

I did grocery shopping on Saturday.

I did a longer ride on Sunday. It was windy AF and after 22 miles, my battery was at 19%.

The cold lasted all week. It wasn’t took cold on Thursday but rained in the morning. I rode at lunch.

I did my errands on Saturday then did a second ride in the afternoon for my last birthday month treat at Chick-Fil-A.

Andy and I rode our bikes to Barnes & Noble then Pizza Mania for lunch. Andy rode home while I got more juice and then fries.

2026 cycling week 05

January 26-February 2

Monday was windy but I did my ride in the morning. I ran over a suicidal opossum on the SR56 MUP. He must have survived because he wasn’t there on my second lap.

Very cold weather came in Monday afternoon.

Tuesday was so cold I could only muster an 11 mile loop. The northern wind made my face hurt.

On Wednesday, I managed 14 miles and finally back to 17 miles on Thursday.

Friday. I was doing my step ups and something popped in my knee. Meniscus, cartilage, ligament? I don’t know. It hurt but I could manage to walk slowly. I had scheduled a half day off with plans to ride longer. I started out with a short ride to Aldi. Riding was fine. Stopping and started wasn’t fun. Later, I met friends at Ford’s Garage. I think the riding helped some getting the blood to circulate and start the healing.

I did errands on Saturday to Target and Publix. It was the last day of the month and I was 7 miles short of 500 miles. The temperature kept dropping and wind kept getting stronger so I stopped at 493 miles.

the car wouldn’t start so i rode to mcdonald’s to get fries for the boys. it is one of the things ryan insists on every week.

Sunday was bitter cold for Florida. At 2:00 pm, it was only 46° but felt like 36° I really didn’t want to ride. But I am not going to give up my streak. I bundled up and was surprised that I didn’t feel too cold. My jacket kept me warm enough and my hands even got a little sweaty in my heavy gloves. I rode to Sprouts and McDonald’s.
