Warm mornings are the norm. I don’t really like it but it is better than the cold of winter.
I did more errands on the weekend, making multiple trips because my bike cannot hold as much as my boys drink.

Rain moved in this week. On Wednesday, it was supposed to be drizzle ending soon after I started. But I got soaked. I didn’t wear my poncho figuring I would get just as sweaty.
They promised lots of rain but we got under an inch.
Saturday I rode to Publix.
Sunday I rode to Sprouts.

The mornings are getting warmer and muggier. I have started taking water with me even the rides are just under an hour.
I did grocery shopping on Saturday and Sunday. I needed milk and juice at Publix. But I can only carry 8 bottles (4 gallons). I checked to see if they had chocolate milk (which they didn’t) before I went back and got the juice for Andy. Then I went to a third store on Sunday for the chocolate milk.

Monday was Memorial Day.
I rode up to Home Depot in Zephyrhills. I rode on the MUP on the way there. I did as well on the way home but found it ended around Curley. I need to remember that for future rides. The sidewalk was narrower and people were jogging.
Summer is coming. The morning are warmer and humid.
I did errands on Saturday and Sunday.

I developed a slow leak in my rear tire. It started on Wednesday. I managed to get the tire pumped up enough to do my morning rides. I had the day off on Friday and went to Oliver’s to get it fixed.
Later, I rode up to Target and stopped at WingStop for take out. My bike was full and heavy. I was careful on the way home.
I did a Publix ride on Saturday.
I did another Publix run on Sunday. I cannot get as much as I need on my bike. My boys drink too much juice and milk.

The mornings were too warm.
I find myself not wanting to do a long ride on the weekends. It is too hot and I would rather spend the afternoons relaxing. So I run errands with my bike.
On Saturday, I did my grocery shopping with my bike. I first went to Target. On my way home, I was approaching the cross walk signal at BBD. I clipped the edge of the walks and my heavy load tipped me over. It was my first tumble on my bike. Not was broken and I was hurt, just dirty and embarrassed.
Once I dropped off the groceries, I went out again for more groceries. I filled up at Publix. I was more careful with the heavy load and got home without mishap.
I did another run on Sunday. I did a larger loop and stopped at Sprouts. Only one bag of groceries so no trouble on the ride home.

The mornings are getting warm. Too warm.
On Wednesday morning, I saw a large alligator crossing Beardsley. He was going to other way but stopped as I got near. I slowed a bit and kept riding.
I saw several deer on Thursday morning. I always surprised by how small they are. They seem like fawns without the markings.
Why do they still have high beams in vehicles? With LED bulbs, I don’t think they are necessary. And most drivers don’t know when they should NOT be using them. I see drivers use them when there are streetlights, and when they are following another vehicle. I wish they would eliminate them.

The mornings were warmer this week. I wonder if I can put away my tights for the season. As soon as I do, we will have a cold spell.
April ended on Tuesday and I had 522 miles for the month.
I rode twice on Friday. Once in the morning and once after work to Target. It was nice to get that out of the way. They didn’t have any milk and I also realized my panniers will not hold as much as I thought.
On Saturday, I did some errands; haircut and milk for Ryan.
On Sunday, I did a short ride because I have to give haircuts.
The weather is getting warm and I want to ride before lunch.

I had a shorter ride on Monday as I did sleep much with stomach pains. The mornings were cooler this week. It wasn’t too cool and I was fine riding each morning.
There was an update to the Flow App and it no longer shows Average Speed. I really missed it and found myself riding a bit slower. Though, we are only talking about a few minutes so it shouldn’t matter.
The rest of the weekdays were fine.
I did some errands on Saturday. I stopped at Nutrition Smart, Sprouts and Panera. My panniers were getting not full but they were heavy and I could not move my bike like I usually do in the garage.
I had a windy but good ride on Sunday.
I didn’t make up the 5 miles I missed from Monday but I was over 100 miles so it is all good.

The mornings got a bit warmer but the humidity is still low.
I had to stop riding in the 10th gear, it is skipping all the time.
I had a long ride on Saturday through Flatwoods. I don’t know why I can’t ride easier and enjoy more of the ride.
Another good ride on Sunday morning. I went out early to avoid the heat and wind. I avoided the heat.
there was no rider around this spider-man motocycle. maybe he was off fighting crime. he wouldn’t be able to get far in the suburbs with no tall buildings.
