Miles Today: 6.0
Miles This Month: 46.9
Miles This Year: 578.9

I had to finish my data entry today, and I also went out, and Don fell asleep before we could go riding. I had to return a library book, and post some letters, and rescue my P.O. box before it completely exploded, so I went for my first solo ride since June. Six miles, a bit nervous, but I did fine.

There was a huge group of teenagers on some group event making a racket in the post office parking lot, so I had to make sure I didn’t goof and drop the bike. ;-) I also had to dodge a lot of cars at the library, and for that matter I had to flip onto reserve as the last time I filled up I didn’t get a full tank. Don’s bike was thirstier. ;-)

So, goodie.

I do like the way the bike handles, leak or no. Before in June I had lost a lot of confidence as the new tyre felt so weird and all that business with the thing so full of air I couldn’t even steer, and the bite point being in the wrong place. Now, it feels smooth and easy.
