Harvest Century

Rode with Katr on her first-ever century (go, Katr!).
Weather Conditions: Overcast, with a few sunbreaks. Some drizzle mid-afternoon. Southerly winds 12-18 and gusty, but the winds died just after we started south (thankfully).

Comments: Commute and recovery ride out to Keizer Station to check on progress of bike paths there.

The parkway path connects up to the road (Tepper?) under Lockhaven finally, but there is no curb cut, so one has to ride the sidewalk to the traffic light.

Wardrobe: Started with arm and leg warmers. Was cold, so got Kim to bring me my Kraft shirt to wear under my jersey for the ride home. Was much better then.
Weather Conditions: Overcast and cool. Fall is here, for certain.

Comments: Commute plus Pratum and a bit

Tried to catch the Wednesday morning club ride, but got there at 10:02 and they were already gone. Did Pratum loop anaerobically. Had stiff headwind on Cordon Rd. I never really clicked in, though, only pulling 16.95 mph for the loop proper.
Weather Conditions: Cool, overcast, south wind 12-13, gusting to 21.

Comments: Test ride on a Catrike 700 at Coventry Cycleworks

What a dream! I love my Road, but the 700 handled like an utter dream. Didn't have my bike shoes, so I couldn't clip in. Noticed a bit more road vibration -- even when not using the neckrest -- prolly due to smaller front wheels. Didn't like the bar end shifters very much. I was surprised at how comfortable the recline was. I really liked it.

Will definitely go back for a longer ride with my GPS to gather some data (no accurate speed data today -- just an educated guess). This might be a replacement for Trikey....
Weather Conditions: Mostly sunny, light westerly breezes. Dry.

Comments: Rode State Street out to Victor Point School, then back on Sunnyview.

First ride of more than an hour in a while. Felt good. Beautiful fall colors.

I think I caused a tiny little tear in my right quadricep on my ride home the other night, as it gave an occasional twinge today if I mashed too hard....

MAINTENANCE: First ride with overhauled factory rear wheel. Wow. Better than new. Also greased tubes in the headsets and the right axle tube. Straightened tiny bend in right brake rotor and got some silence finally. I continue to be happy with the new chain route (double set of idler wheels), but I still need to order a replacement return idler to get it finalized.

Wardrobe: leg warmers, arm warmers, jersey, bike shorts, wool socks, three-season gloves. During the last hour, I wished I had worn a Craft shirt as a base layer....

Comments: Turner, Aumsville, Shaw, then north on Howell Prairie to come back via Fruitland.

Went out hoping to catch some of the strong tailwinds. Not a well-planned ride. Left too late and hit dark in Turner, as well as some rain.

Riding 38 mph in the dark, cold rain was interesting. I did find a south wind for a tailwind, but it was not very satisfying at night as I had few visual references.

I need better lights for this kind of riding. Wet pavement just sucked up the light from the Sigma EvoX. Best light was from my DiNotte headlight, but I need to move the mount so it's not behind the fairing. The glare doesn't matter in town (and the illuminated fairing is eye-catching), but on a dark, rainy country road, it kills night vision.
Weather Conditions: Very, very windy. 20-25 mph southerlies, with 35+ mph gusts. Intermittent rain.

Last ride for 2007. Got sick and had asthma flare-up shortly after this ride.

Finished the year at 5075 miles. My original goal for the year was 3,000 miles, so I am very pleased.

I completed 27 metric centuries, of which 2 were double-metrics and 7 were statute centuries.

My goal for 2008 is to ride 6,000 miles, or more miles than I drive (whichever is greater). I am almost positive I accomplished this for 2007, but I didn't keep good records of car mileage.
