Biking 36:54 intensity: (1:53 @0) + (34:06 @1) + (55 @2) 7.39 mi (12.0 mph) +39m
ahr:112 max:149 shoes: Long Haul Trucker

Reinflated and it feels so good.

Tire did squirm somewhere along the way, so not sure if the patches weren't holding, there's still glass, or it finally just settled (I don't think I fully seated it).

Notes: should really care a spare tube...and look at getting CO2. Or maybe just running around in circles around Plymouth instead of heading 15 miles away when every sensible person is sleeping. Or also make sure I bring a charged phone instead of just the watch, and maybe a rain poncho etc. in case things really go south. I have a little truck bag, there is room.

Harvey skipped a nap so he zonked off early. I had no real chance to get out either day, so I thought I would at least try to get out period, and if things went well, do something decent.

Things did go well, until shortly after the turnaround, where the bike got very squirrelly. Gosh darn it, flat!

I walked it back 200 meters to the most recent bathroom and set about fixing it.

A something like 5 mm glass shard had embedded in the tire. I run Marathon Plusses that have a thick anti puncture strip embedded in the tire, however it must not be quite that thick. Stupid litterers!

I found the hole and patched it. But then vigorous pumping of my little mini pump did nothing. Argh. I should really order an inflator.

I decided to start walking towards the pump track, and text my two most likely nearest and night owl-est homies for a ride, since riding on it flat just kept de-beading the tire.

Nooo, neither text went through from the apple watch. Thanks but no thanks T Mobile + Apple Watch Series 5.

At least it was a pleasant temp, lots of moonlight, and no rain. My bike shoes are apparently not terrible to hike in on asphalt.

I eventually got to the pump truck and didn't see a bike fixit station. Noooo, that's still like 7-8 miles from home.

Then, behold, by the locked bathroom!

Even with it, it took some doing. THAT pump didn't inflate the rear, so I tested it on the front, yes the pump works, then rechecked the tube and as seems to be the case for me on Hines Drive flats, there was a sneaky second hole. I patched that, and pumped it.

Triple Trail Challenge 2021 TTC

Ken joined, which was nice as another amigo got tied up at work.

Fun ride. I never got my back brakes bled, so I took it as an opportunity to be front brake only, which worked well other than three hills I needed to walk because they had so much loose gravel I couldn't slow down enough without locking the front, which is not a great idea.

I was frustrated to not be where I want be fitness-wise, even though I understand it is the result of my decisions.

Ken probably could have been an hour faster. He gained so much time on any climb that didn't have big steps.

Also, apparently the trick to long activity recording with a cellular apple watch is to bring its powered on companion phone. Must be the phone service that kills the battery especially in more remote areas.

Hard at work:



Trivia: Dirt doesn't stick to my old skateboarding scar.

I still need to find H-man some toddler size clear safety glasses, since he seems to not like wearing shades.

Work calendar was relatively open, so I tried to add in a few make up miles for the last two missed days.

I wish the facility I have to visit today was a smidge closer...I'm not sure that the 40 during work or so for a round trip are quite feasible. Even though it's a garage, I would have to be slightly presentable on arrival, with no showers, just a trash-filled parking lot, to get ready in.
