The Asphalt Was Good To Us Today

Last Saturday Amy proved how tough she was by riding 100 miles with a broken clavicle. She upped the ante again today, riding one more time with her broken clavicle, but adding to the ailment list, hacking up a lung.
Our favorite route, on a beautiful, windless day. Very nice. But had to feel sorry for Amy. It was more of a sufferfest for her. 87/19.0

Day Of Rest

Dr. visit this morning. He asked, "you still exercising?" My answer, "six days a week".

I've made it six months , six days a week not missing an outside ride.  Friday's my day off.
Plan on the streak continuing.

Found The Noise

Lots of water coming over St. Anthony Falls. The deluge, from a few days ago, up near Duluth is making its way into the Mississippi now. I could feel the rumble of the river as I stood on the Stone Arch Bridge.

Tackled the task of figuring out the cause of the noise, that I thought was coming from my pedals.
Took the bb apart and found that it was dirty, but also found a crack and tear in the plastic casing. Never seen that before. It must not have seated correctly when I screwed on the other cup and caused it to crack and rip. A $19.00 part instead of $150.00 for pedals. Works for me.

Nice ride. Heat wasn't as hot tonight. 26/17.2

"The Heat Was Hot"

This was no dry heat. I could see the humidity, the sky had a grey hazy look. 91 degrees and 71 for a dew point all added up to good excuses to shorten my regular Wednesday ride. 25/16.8

Lingering Suspicions

"B" bike is having issues. Thought it was pedals, so switched out with "A" pedals, nope not a pedal issue. It's something in the drive train. My suspicion now is crank / bb.
Saturday still lingers. 27/16.0

Monday

Felt the need to do that recovery thing. 24/16.0

A Good Tired

It's pretty cool. I go to ride with my team, and, without any prior plans, I see my daughter there. I like that.
A very nice ride with the team, there were probably about 20 of us. Friends, bike, family....not only did I ride with my daughter, but I saw my other daughter too and hung out with Elijah this evening.
Plenty of tired. I'm exhausted. Lots of miles this weekend. It's all good. Today 56/16.6
