July 31st rides

[mimitabby]

worked from 630 am until 630 pm. Sat on my butt all day. Sometimes we stop testing while they do a model change (airplane engine model) that's when yesterday I ran out and did laps on my worksman bike. I got 3 breaks, I rode
4 miles. When there is a headwind, that bike acts like a sailboat (the wrong direction of course) I got quite a workout, averaging 9 miles an hour.
The last time out I rode 2 miles and the giant tractor seat on it started to hurt my legs/butt.
By the time I got home there was no time to ride my bike so I was glad that at least I had the old purple thing to ride.

I suppose I'll post my Jul. 31st ride even though it's a day late.

Did an amazingly slow 18 miles through the beautiful Willamette Valley. My average would have been about 15mph except for the nasty headwind on the backside of my ride. That brought me down to a dismal 12.7 mph. I hate wind!

I have missed two days of riding. I don't like riding in 30-35 mph winds!
