Riding Journal 6/25

Payday, and down to the bank.

Distance: 2.093 miles
Maximum Speed: 14.9 mph
Average Speed: 10.2 mph
Time: 12 minutes, 23 seconds.

This was the nastiest ride I've had in a long time. Hard winds that seemed to swirl around to be directly head on no matter what my direction of travel, hot, humid air, and idiotic drivers at every turn. That, and a pinhole leak in my rear tire made for a difficult journey. I've gotten clearance from Kiri to purchase self-sealing tubes for the bike, which should help. I'll go to Pacific Cycles for those, since I really don't feel comfortable removing the rear wheel assembly.

Had a nice surprise at the bank.. Kirsten's 401k paid out, so we can get the car repaired at last. Just need to see about getting it reregistered and insured.
