For the past several nights I have checked location of resident spider, no occupant. I believe nature has claimed another victim. I will now remove its web.
Painful: there is a plant with a harsh snap back swack I have hit on my last rides, the branch hits me on the chest and raises a welt. First time fool me, second time was shame on me. Next time I ride that trail I will carry a pruner and fix that sucker.
Yesterday was breakfast of scratch pancakes with added wild blueberries, ummm, good and filling. real maple syrup.
Yesterday I rode out Turkey creek way riding pretty much same stuff. 3 mile pavement ride each way, I work on my pedal stroke as I am a pedal / coast rider instead of constant pedal. No, I do not pedal when gravity is assisting, I focus on not working. Power to the pedals makes getting up the step ups possible which I seem to always quit pedaling right before the feature. If I constantly pedaled these step ups would be a breeze. 14.3 miles climbing 1107′ in 1 hr 43 mins pedaling. Heart rate is back where it belongs.
Zags tonight for WCC semi final and the score counted that they play in the final tomorrow. Projected number 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Ready for a new chain at 350 miles even though the chain stretch gauge shows more stretch can be had. Changing before stretch threshold saves having to buy replacement gears. I did learn from previous use I can run the drive train for lots of miles which I will prolly do when the chain wear has worn the chain ring. Due for a rear tire also.
