Ride #28

Just a cruise up and down Miami Beach. At 7am, this place is ok. Any other time of day, this is not my scene. Looking forward to heading back north.

Ride 23/21

Worked from home today. Woke up about 4:45am. Perfect opportunity to “beat the heat” and go for an early morning pre work ride. Not this kid. Instead took on the hottest part of the day and hit the sourlands for an after work ride. Tried to move fast enough to stay ahead of the gnats.

Only took 1hr and 34min of real time to get 1-hr and 8min of sourland time.

Ride 28/31. Was going to take a mulligan, but after my X-rays showed only contusions on 3 ribs and my wrist I figured I’d take an easy road ride - using mostly 1 hand and not trying to breathe heavy. I made my own rendition of the Nazca drawings in Peru using the streets of my town.

Well it sucks having to post after that ride @Steve Vai 🤯

Day 20 of 21
1:18

Only time to ride today was lunchtime. We stuck to the usual flat lunch loop to keep moving and not deal with any hills. It was hot but not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

The only downside today was my buddy clipped his hand on something during the ride as we passed between one of those gated community toll gate things. Seems he’s ok nothing major.

one more day for 21/21 !

My last ride for the July challenge. Flying to NJ tomorrow for a few days and I won't have a bike to ride.

1hr, 43 min

I took a ride before the blast furnace comes on this afternoon. Coincidentally I came across Furnace Street on today's ride. I stopped on the bagel shop on the way home.

Working off a tiny tablet and some @jackx esque riding times up here at Kingdom, updated as of this post. Audit your times for me, definitely not thinking straight.

@Cassinonorth I believe you switched my 7/26 ride (maybe you posted it 7/25)... posted as my 21st ride. I'm done.

 

[MissJR]

I meant to write this before when I posted my last ride today... But I was packing and trying to do too many things at once...

Anyway...

Early congrats to all the 31/31 finishers and woo hoo to all the 21+ers!!!

If there's any prizes for 21+ finishers, I ask mine be donated to NICA (or, hell, just make a donation anyway)

If there's prizes (in addition to finishing and most miles) for best photos, I nominate @Piston Honda ... I even started following him in IG because of the videos.

And last but not least... Thank you @Cassinonorth for taking up the task of keeping track of everything. If you'd like a coffee or beer, DM me your Venmo and it'll be my treat.

Awww thanks @MissJR

People enjoying my videos is all the prize I need 😁

Got out early today. Wife is going to be in call until Monday morning, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a ride in tomorrow. Unless I can convince the kids to go for a ride.

First flat in the contest. Edit: forgot the beargrease also got a flat, but I was able to finish the ride before it went completely limp. Still haven't fixed it 🤣.

Congrats on finishing! Appreciate the offer, but no need. More than happy to help out the community.

“Wife on call” is my biggest limiting factor, too. Our son is only 10 months and we don’t have a Burley or bike seat. It’s why I went for 21 instead of 31 (although at this point I’m fine with it - my legs are cooked). Good on you for making it work!

Yea, her weekday, 24hr calls, aren't bad. I can just wake up early and get it in before her shift starts. But this weekend is her first 48hr shift for the month. Not sure what I'll do tomorrow yet. Weather looks good though, tops out at 80. So maybe I can convince the littles (4 and 6 years old) to ride their bikes for an hour. Maybe I'll get them out on the glassboro wma trails.

28. Sizzler, but it’s Friday! Loop around the front yard playground. FF needs a bunch of chainsaw work. Unfortunately the trees that are down are in areas that rarely get maintained by the chainsaw crew. No riding buddy today. Charlie was overheating just laying in the driveway.
