Since yesterday was cold, but sunny, I decided to try commuting on the new bike. It was fast—I got to work in only 30 minutes—but somewhere on the way to work, I got a leak. Thank goodness it didn’t go flat. I pumped it up at the office and it held enough air to get me home safely. I’ll have to fix it tonight.
The weather forecast is calling for storms all weekend, so I’m thinking we may not ride this weekend. But I’ll still have to get up early and get to Almaden Station by 8:15am just in case we do go out. It’s supposed to be a 42-mile ride. I am not looking forward to riding 42 miles in the rain, but if Patrick says we go, I’ll go. Sunday’s hill repeats are more likely to go on because they’re shorter, more strenuous workouts, but even those could be canceled if the rain’s coming down too hard. We’ll wait and see, but it would be weird (and kinda nice) to have a weekend off to do some Christmas shopping. I haven’t even started yet!
