Beautiful day today on the coast. Was a 4 bottle day again. and a flatted my rear tire while I was getting refil for my water bottles. So sat at the deli for about 15 minutes, taking my time to fix a flat. An older male cyclist came by and asked "any luck?" not sure what he meant so I said I think so. Well it turns out his patch job never holds. I'm a cheapie so my tubes may have half a dozen or more patches. Never had trouble. Oh only time I have is one of those super (paper) thin patches where you just stick. They don't work. A patch kit $2.00 and a tube $2.00 instead of 7 tubes at $2.00. $14.00 or $4.00

Anyway, total for January and considering I didn't ride Nov. and Dec. and October was so so... this is okay I guess. 295.19 miles. I wanted to hit 300 but just wasn't meant to be. and total climb is 17,963 feet. I really wanted the 300 mile mark for Jan. I didn't pace my self too well. Still working on getting my stamina up. BASE MILES!!

Oh yesterday, BAD BAD BAD. went out for a rest ride. Went out at 4:00pm with my old set of lights (Vista Lights) and a new tail light. I thought that the new battery pack I put together had enough charge. Well nope. Not good. I did make it home in one piece.

still happy.
