2024 cycling week 5

The weather got cold again and I rode in the afternoon after work.

January ended on Wednesday and I had ridden 455 miles.

Saturday’s ride was longer than I usually like. I rode to BurgerFi for one last #BirthdayMonth treat. The closest one is in Odesssa which is 16 miles west of here.

suncoast bike trail

The ride there was OK despite being on a busy and fast road. The ride back was very windy and I got caught at many traffic lights. But the fries were worth it.

By Sunday, I had 98 miles so I didn’t need a big ride. But I ended up doing 17 miles. I was riding more for the minutes than the miles.

This week 116 miles

Gloomy skies riding home from the dentist

I rode to the dentist on Tuesday. My mouth was numb on the way back but I chewed some gum anyway. It really helps with the dry mouth.

The temperatures got warmer and I was able to ride in the morning, Wednesday through Friday. I like getting in longer rides but I miss the extra free time in the morning.

I had a good ride on Saturday. I rode down Morris Bridge and through Flatwoods. I wanted to redeem my #BirthdayMonth shake from Burger21 and wanted to get in some miles before I got there. I didn’t plan well and wasn’t hungry when I got there. But I ordered some sweet potato fries. The shake was worth the effort.

On Sunday, I rode to the Grove. I wanted to check out the decor at World Market. I ended up with just chocolate but I got to talk to a guy about my bike.
