2021 mileage: 3967.8
In September I am riding the Great Cycle Challenge, which is aimed at raising funds to fight childhood cancer. I am pursuing a goal I set for myself to ride 400 miles in September, (Contributions are gratefully accepted on my page:
I got the month of to a good start this morning by riding a round trip to Baker Rd. (Dexter) for the first time since August 18) in LOVELY riding weather ... slightly cooler air has moved in as fall approaches, and when I set off at 7 a.m. today, it was 60° and sunny, climbing to 68° during my ride. By taking my slightly shorter route, I did 18.3 miles in a few seconds over 2 hours even.
I remain intensely grateful to have my old (backup) trike to use while I await the tubes for my new one. However, the last two days have reminded me of one of its unpleasant features. The handlebar is so placed that on the upstroke, my left leg scrapes it, and that has opened a raw patch on my left thigh. Additionally, my right ankle is slightly striking the pedal crank—so my poor left side is feeling it!
