The temperature has warmed up to 55 degrees today. This is ideal bicycling weather. The roads are wet so the potholes keep moving. There is not enough daylight to try to ride to work yet, but I can go to town on my days off this week.

Columbus Day
I was not even aware we had a holiday today until I went out to get the mail and there wasn’t any. I slept right through it. Unfortunately I got to bed so late today I will cancel my bike ride to work tonight.
Long sleeve day
I rode the bike to work last night. When I rode back this morning, it was pleasantly chilly. Tonight a frost warning has been issued for the area. Local temperatures should stay above freezing, but it is time to wear long sleeves at work. It gets warm in the store I work at overnights. WeContinue reading “Long sleeve day”
Test Delay
Drove to work last night instead of taking the bike. Rode to Coffeyville this morning to get the rent check instead. The bad thing about having a vehicle that could use some work is scheduling an appointment. A few years ago I could get my car worked on this week. Now I am lucky toContinue reading “Test Delay”
Test run
I misplaced the tablet that I post on, so I haven’t posted lately. But I did manage to get one of my bikes up and did a few test runs this weekend. Now I try to commute to work tonight. Temperatures are ideal, but daylight is now an issue both ways.
Getting back on the bike
I had not ridden the bikes all year, but I finally got them off of the porch and prepared them for riding. Coffeyville’s football stadium is about five miles from my house. Unless the high school goes deep in the playoffs, this is the last time both the high school and the college are atContinue reading “Getting back on the bike”
Avoiding work
When I am not working at Wally World, I try to avoid the place. Unfortunately, when you have insurance from Walmart, Walmart is your drug dealer. My prescriptions are ready, so I will run a bunch of other errands that I otherwise would have delayed until next week when I get back from vacation. EvenContinue reading “Avoiding work”
Crappy Sunday
Sunday I drove the box truck to Sperry, or more specifically a store in the middle of nowhere. I guess they had weather up here Saturday morning because just a mile from the store there was a trampoline that landed against a fence a quarter mile from the nearest house. The crew got the restContinue reading “Crappy Sunday”
Rain Delay Saturday
One of the reasons Tulsa Tough is held when it is, is to race in a drier time of year. In the dozen years I have been driving the box truck that supplies rest stops on the Fondo courses, we have never had rain during the Fondo races. This year we had a storm comeContinue reading “Rain Delay Saturday”
Rain Delay?
Got a text from my boss at Tulsa Tough. There could be a delay in today’s Fondo start. If there is there is a very good possibility the Gran Fondo course, and one of my two stops could be eliminated. I will know about 6am, just before I would normally head downtown to pick upContinue reading “Rain Delay?”
