Wind. Full loop.
Loose gravel on Beardsley. It didn't affect the ride but when I got home I was covered in the small black bits. It was in my shoes and stuck to my clothes. Then it was all over the bathroom.
9.02 miles

Friday

The gravel on Beardsley makes it impractical to ride. (I think it is bitumen because it sticks to clothing and skin)
I decided to continue along Mansfield to WRB but only if the light was green. It was a stupid if because the light only changes for requests. But there was no traffic so I crossed SR56 and rode to the closed section and back. I have never ridden this section in the dark.

I almost forgot to ride.
I walked this morning because it was raining. My weather app said it was light to medium but it was more like drizzle. But I was dressed for walking.
After work, I started doing some puzzles and other stuff until Ryan started nagging me and wouldn't stop until I got up. I am glad that he reminded me but he couldn't have stopped then. Sigh.
Anyway, quick ride to Morningside and back.

Friday
2pm ride with Andy

End: Clear, 66°F, Feels like 66°F, Humidity 39%, Wind 4mph from N - by Klimat.app
I had to pump up his tires because he hasn't ridden in over two years. For some reason, the hand pump wouldn't work so I used the car inflator.
Andy prefers the sidewalk when we get to busy roads. We rode CLR to Mansfield to Kinnan. I stopped and asked him if he wanted to turn around or continue. He opted for turning around.

Overcast. Windy.
Rode Mansfield to SR56
I rode on the sidewalk west of BBD. No one was on it
Waiting for the light to cross the ramp takes forever. I was lucky when a gap long enough formed for me to go ahead.
No easy way to bike into the outlet mall.
I locked my bike up to the railing around the Starbucks patio.
Chestnut Praline Crème Steamer and marshmallow bar.
Getting out of the outlet mall was a little easier. The ride over I75 was a struggle but ai made it without an incident.
I cut through Northwood Palms just to change up the route. I was also hoping that the wind would be weaker along the narrower road.

I was only planning a very short ride and my bike was gone. Ryan took my bike and left his. His needed air in the tires. I filled them and got on. I haven't ridden his bike in years and I don't know how he can stand it. The seat tilts up so you get a rude awakening. You also have to hold on to the handlebars or risk falling backwards. But his grips are falling off!
I lasted 2 miles.
He was home when I got back. He was more upset with me taking his bike than he was with I was with him. Sigh.

East wind but out of Starbucks in the direction.
Rode to Mansfield/Kinnan to Cross Creek.
I rode through Hunters Green to Starbucks.
Chestnut Praline Steamer
Why did Starbucks stop selling Christmas ornaments? This is only day 3 so if they are sold out, they are doing it wrong.
Ugh. They put coffee in my steamer! Gross!
I had them do it again.
Much better the second time.
I rode back up BBD but on the MUP. I don't like riding there but I have gotten so slow!
Cars making right hand turns don't pay attention nor car about pedestrians and cyclists even when they have the walk signal.

A pathetic week of riding. It got cold on Wednesday so I walked in the morning. But by the afternoon, I had no motivation to ride. I did the minimum. And I do mean minimum. If it wasn’t for this 967 day streak, I am not sure I would ride more ch at all. At least coffeeneuring is getting me to ride a little farther. But not like in the years past.

Cold this morning and windy. I walked instead of riding.
I rode after work. It was still chilly and windy so it was very short. Just keeping the streak going but not racking up the miles.

I almost gave up my streak.
It was too cold this morning and I I had to drive across town after work to pick up a portable oxygen concentrator for my dad.
I had planned to ride when I got home thinking I would have time before sunset.
But it took longer than I expected at the shop and I stopped at Popeye's on the way home.
And then totally forgot until 8:30!
Since it was dark and getting colder, I just did one loop around the neighborhood.
So sad.
1.15 miles.

Rode east to MPB then SR56 to Barnes & Noble. I ordered a steamer and a cookie and went inside. I got my cookie but the drink wasn't ready. When it did come, it was cold. They made me a Frappuccino instead of a steamer. Sigh.
The cookie is a very good tool to scoop up the whipped cream. (Except when a good chunk of cookie drops in the drink and you have no utensils.)
Rode back home.
