December 22-28

Holiday week!

I couldn’t take the week off so I rode at lunch on Monday and Tuesday. We had Wednesday off so I did some errands for stocking stuffers.

cows were the most exciting this to look at on my rides

I rode 21 miles on Christmas Day.

I took a half day off on Friday and did the first 2 of my grocery trips; Aldi & Sprouts.

I rode to Target and Publix on Saturday.

I saw that I was 90 miles shy of 6,000 so I rode 31 miles on Sunday. I did it without a long stop, just traffic lights and to photograph the cows. My battery was down to 10% when I got home.

This week 137 miles (Strava 132 miles)

This year 5,941 miles (Strava 5,713 miles)

Streak 2.129 days

December 15-21

The beginning of the week was cold but it warmed up enough by Thursday to ride in the morning again. I do prefer to ride in daylight and be able to look at things other than the 20’ cones of light in front of my bike. But it is also nice to have the workout done before I start work.

I did errands on Saturday and Sunday.

This week 110 miles (Strava 105)

This year 5,803 miles (Strava 5,581)

Streak 2,122 days

This week was different. I ended up working three half days with Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving. I didn’t ride in the mornings even though the temperatures were not very low.

I rode usually after lunch. I did some errands and some longer rides. Nothing longer than 21 miles.

I strained my left quad on Saturday doing squats. (Being old sucks.) It wasn’t happy every time I started riding after a stop but was fine once I got going.

This week 130 miles (Strava 125)

This month 524 miles

This year 5,458 miles (Strava 5,253)

On Monday, I rode to have a mammogram. On Tuesday, I rode for a hair appointment and to have the chain and cassette replaced on my bike.

I rode in the morning before work the rest of the week. Only Friday was a bit cool.

I did grocery shopping on Saturday to Publix and Sprouts.

I did the final Coffeeneuring ride on Sunday. I went to the farthest Starbucks I thought I could travel with my e-bike.
