I continue to bike to work. Once I get there I change into jeans and a shirt and hang my bike clothes outside on the fire exit. When I went to get them to prepare to leave for home they were gone. I searched and searched and asked the security guard, Claudia whether anyone had taken them. She had determined that perhaps they were thrown away in the garbage by the cleaning crew. Two buildings and 3 dumpsters later I had found them. Thanks for your help Claudia. And thanks to Rob D for giving me a ride home (it is getting to dark earlier in the day so I could not ride home).
Today is the 3 month anniversary of our ride into Boston and the end of our trip. Was it a dream ? Did I really do it ? Based on the emails going back and forth between the group I know I did it, but it seems such a long time ago.
Apparently, in celebration of the 3 months, I got a flat tire. My first since Liberal, Kansas. Fortunately, I was in front of a bike shop so at least I had access to a tire pump. After observing Harry, Alec and Karen for all of our flat tire repairs (I usually held the bike), it only took me about 10 minutes to fix. Not bad and it was the back tire. Let's see how it holds up tomorrow. Total miles today 62 (20 after the flat).
I tested the Cannodale Synapse 3 and Trek Madone 4.5 road bike today. Getting used to the compact and the gearing will take some time. All of the bikes ride so much lighter and I feel so much faster.

Bob is recovering from his injuries and has ordered his new bike which he should receive in a few weeks. Pictured below is his new bike.
Don't forget to pick up that thirty-pound lock and chain I told you about!
ReplyDeleteI already have that lock and chain
