2021 mileage: 3016.4
Yesterday, I had planned to clean my trike chain in the morning—a bit of maintenance which needs to be done periodically in order both to preserve the chain longer, and also to help the trike work more efficiently. But to do this, you to put a special cleaning liquid into a cleaning tool, clamp it onto the chain, and then pedal it backwards ... and something was wrong, causing the chain to keep coming off the front gear wheel. I tried experimenting with quite a few different ways of addressing the problem, but nothing worked, so I ultimately abandoned it in great frustration. Until I can solve the issue, riding is out of the question for me.
So today I got up early and hopped on our stationary bike, riding 30.0 miles in 2:19 (and, happily, exceeding a new major mileage milestone for the year -- 3000 miles), while watching Mary Poppins.
