Flo - rider

 Down in the FLA for the big bird day this week.  Not too bad honestly.  Though ask me after round 2 of christmas light work today and I may have a different answer.  

 

 What is the saying about the watched pot never boiling, same goes for bikes:

 

Hopefully the hit the green light on this and get up to speed post holidays.  Should be here before the fatman rolls in next month so I understand.  Hoping to get it by mid-month to get some solid epic rides in over the holidaze.

 Was hoping to get a longer ride in today, probably limited to some neighborhood hot laps.  Hopefully I start the GPS this time.  Missed almost first 4 miles on the ride on Monday.  Stupid watch GPS.  :) 

Commutes 2025

 Just had a moment to spend pondering my commutes this year so far.  Today was my 69th day of commuting in by bike.  I generally work 2 days a week where I can commute, 1 at VA Office where I can't and 2 at home.

I figure out of 52 weeks in a year, 2 are out due to holidays, 2 to vacations, 2 to travel/events, and 2 to truly nasty weather.   46 Weeks would be 92 Rides.   So mod to 90 rides.    This year I should be at 75 to almost 80 depending on how I stretch things.   With more travel and a few other things on the horizon (Meeting offsite tomorrow on a normal commute day for one).

 Put a new waxed chain on Betty earlier this week, on the CX bike it's been amazing so far.   It's soo much cleaner.  

 But MTB will be the test, the old GX 12 Speed chain was a bit over due at 540 miles in a bit over a year.   I can see I may try and get more MTB riding in especially this winter in MoCo.  We shall see.  

 It's also time to re-lube the waxed chain on CX bike, its at over 400+ miles since july and it's due!  Got a bottle of Silca Super Secret Stuff and will dope it this week.  No commute tomorrow and off to see an awesome show tonight.  Woot.

204 on Friday.  Not shabby.
