Week 8
The storms spared me for most of this week, failing only on Monday to ride my miles. Despite the lack of rain, it was chilly all week—chilly enough that I had to wear my shell on the commute home every day. The cycling shell acts as a parachute on fast rides home—my average speed tends to be over a mile an hour slower wearing it.
Still, I managed almost four times as many miles this week as last week. On Saturday, I passed my 500th mile for the month, on my second ride of the year over 50 miles. That makes the sixth month in a row with mileages over 500 miles. Soon, the rainy season will end and I’ll be able to get complete weeks on a regular basis. Until then, I do what I can.
