Week 15
A six day riding week at long last, but despite my quivering desire to hammer hard and turn in good numbers this week, I was thwarted by a steady headwind every single day — sometimes approaching 30 miles an hour. A worn out back tire (and the flat that revealed it) thwarted my morning commute on Tuesday and I ended up fifteen miles short of my goal.
Despite this, I rolled through my two thousandth mile of the year on Wednesday (which is also the three thousandth mile since getting the Trek). The wind eased up on me a little bit on Friday, but I think I’m just going to have to get used to strong winds in the afternoons, rampaging down the peninsula—hell-bent on making me stronger.
