Week 17
Another five day riding week this week makes seven weeks in a row where my mileage was less than my goal mileage. In this case, it was a projected rain storm on Wednesday in which it rained most of the day and sprinkled after I got home from work. By the time I got moving enough to realize that accuweather was wrong again, I had already blown my window. So much for Wednesday.
On a couple of the weekdays, I rode all of my miles in one jaunt after work, primarily due to oversleeping my alarm clock in the morning or rain. If I had said “screw it” at 6 on Wednesday evening and gone out into the strong winds for an hour and a half, I’d have 200 miles on this chart for the first time since mid March. But, someone bearing a striking resemblance to…well…me needs to stop making bullshit excuses.
All in all, though, spinning through my SPD anniversary and beating the only other half-century in April by just over seven minutes, I’m not too displeased. Next week’s going to be a day short, too, but as this turbulent spring meanders into summer, I’m looking forward to many long, long weeks.
