60 DAYS TO GO!

The ride starts in 60 days. I heard it was snowing in Seattle this week.

I have a new set of wheels now and feel much better about the big ride. I did some research and found that I was probably due for a new set of wheels. I had about 15,000 miles on the old wheels and they had been ridden pretty hard. I am very happy that this happened prior to my journey.

Blow Out

After a nice ride on Sunday afternoon - even though it was a little cold, I hung my bike back in its resting space. About an hour later, I heard a loud bang. I figured the tube popped and it was no big deal, but when I went and looked, the whole side of my wheel had been blown out! So I have to pick up a new rim now. Bummer.

Rainy Day

Today was a pretty rainy day. I ended up riding on my inside trainer. I rode 80 miles. With June 23 right around the corner, I think I am ready to go.
