Not sore or tired!

I haven't rode for a couple of weeks, but I got 24 miles in today. I'm not the least bit sore or tired. I am going to have to up the miles!

I do dumb things sometimes.

I could not find my phone on the trail, so I bought a new one. When I got ready to plug it into the charger, surprise! there is my old phone. I had to take the new phone back. I was so embarrassed.

Lost my cell phone

My 200 dollar cell phone fell out of my pocket while I was riding my bike. I hope I can find it tomorrow. It's too dark to find it now, so I will try in the morning. The chances of finding it are slim I'm afraid. Oh well, things happen.

Low and Slow into the wind

I rode my mountain bike to church today. It was a great service, and I even went to bible study. I haven't done that for a very long time. We were taught about grace. 24.5 miles on my odometer. It was very windy and I could only go 5 mph into it, but over 30 going back! Julie Thompson said that it was amazing that I could ride in that wind.  My secret is to go slow and get in low gear.

Lots of flowers to take pictues of

Beautiful day for riding. Lots of flowers to take pictures of. I went 24 miles today. Went to Dillons and ate. I fixed my broken chain with a link I bought at the bike shop. They said my chain is worn out, and I need to replace the rear sprocket too. I plan on doing it later, but I have to have my bike for now.

Broken Chain

I broke the chain on my bike, so I had to kick it the rest of the way home like a scooter. Lucky for me, I was only 2 miles from home. I went 22 miles today, but 2 were without a chain! The wind is very strong too! I went to church, but I got a late start. I left at 7:51 am and I got there at 8:58. Not bad considering the wind is blowing very strong. I got in 24 miles on Saturday too. After that, I went to the bike shop (on my road bike) to get a new chain for my mountain bike. They said my sprocket is worn out. It's a new bike! about a year old! Anyway, I put another 22 on my road bike, so I went about 42 miles today. Whew, I am pooped!!
