I did not leave before 6 AM so I took a less trafficked route. It was still fun tho. Golfers can be very friendly.

Well not the actual Dawn but as close to 5 AM as I could

The humidity at 6ish was high but falling fast and the temperature was low — in the 70s — so I took a chance among the garbage-trucks and school-buses.

I’d been staring at the long uphill which 16th becomes and decided today was the day. Without cars it’s quite a fun uphill and I rode it every other lap without incident. At 8 9 10 etc it’s a death-trap.

Despite the high temperatures I decided perhaps foolishly to take Mr Tib out to the Airport and ride some Sprintervals. Hacia mucho calor indeed. The place was nearly empty but one shirtless guy passed me twice just to prove he could I suppose.

The work on the Ponte Storto continues ruining my upper loop at the park but it need the repairing so there’s that.

Once Red-Beard advised me to make my last lap speed equal my first la[ speed and I remember being able to do that but today I had no chance. Heat took away all my oomph

All I tried to do was adjust my left foot & boom down I went. Somewhere I violated a law of physics

Almost no humidity out there today plus some wind. I had a new chain put on my Baby & her odd clicking has mostly vanished. 800 feet of climbing today; more than I usually get. The route crosses some active car-repair businesses so I need some luck avoiding traffic.

Unfortunately I had two near-misses today. Motorists simply not paying attention. You’d think everyone wd notice a dude dressed like Spider-Man on a giant yellow trike

Still I had a good time & really felt the urge for 15. Alas time crunch

I tried again to enjoy some AM falling humidity on the Halfbike. I had wanted to start at 5:30 and get-in 15 miles of so but everything conspired against me and I began pedaling at 6:10. 13 good miles tho and a while lot of Sweat. Almost no traffic so little danger of any crashing.

I rode on Gatorade GU for the first time ever. I figured it wd taste like sweat but it didn’t. GU plus Liquid IV got me through the 30 miler very nearly comfortable.

I try starting at 5:30 every Sunday yet invariably my start-time is 6:15 or so hence 15 milers elude me for now. Loopy demands her walk at 7 so I must settle for shorter rides.

Today had almost no traffic and the roads were mostly dry. I’m still avoiding the 175 Heart-rate Hill in the humidity but the less steep route is also fun. 166 for my high.

Halfbiking is becoming my favorite pedal-chain experience.

Every app said No Rain so I set-off for a good thirty-miler in good faith.

I got 12 miles done but they were still fun even when wet. Fixies handle in the rain very well indeed but it’s the fear of not being seen by motorists that takes my rides away.
