Reply With Quote18 mi round trip commute. I am really hoping to get a lot more in this year. Between picking up the kids at school for various activities and the rain of last year. I didn't do as well as I had hoped. So far 11 this year. IF it would stop snowing I might get a few more April rides in. I am tired of my warm weather gear, although I do like to ski.

My ride for the 10th was a commute.
Was uneventful in the a.m. - if a bit cold.
In the evening, I got a flat 0.75 mile from home and ended up walking the bike the rest of the way home. I was too lazy to take off the panniers, the wheel and change the flat. The bike sits on it's rack in the garage right now, still with a flat tire.
I haven't looked at the tire, but my guess is it's shredded pretty good. I ran over something nasty. Looks like I'll be putting on the summer tires -- 700 x 25's vs. 28's and no reflective sidewall -- sooner than I anticipated.
So, not including the walk, I got in a lucky 13 miles!2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

LOL...I am going to have an opportunity to move to a new region of the country in the next year or so, and I am trying to figure out where. I keep saying...I don't want to have to dress like the Michelin man in the summer!

I live in a little town sandwiched between salt water and glaciers. I live on a hill, and I can either ride down, or ride up, or put my bike on the car and drive it 20 miles to where there are some flat areas. So, if I only have time for a little ride out my back door, choices are limited. Originally Posted by mimitabby
