Week #34 Another solid week even with a few mechanicls

 

Week #34 - 653 miles

Another solid week of riding in the books. There was a few mechanicals along the way on Saturday. First I stuck a piece of wire through the tire. Thought I would be able to plug it, but I couldn't get the one hole to seal. Tried the first tube but it must of already had a hole in it. The second tube lasted for about 35ish miles and then I was lucky enough to bum a tube from someone on the trail to get me home. Got in 139 miles on the day so it wasn't all bad. Today I rode with Eric Mellow who is in town for Gravel Worlds 150 on next Saturday. We got in about 70 miles together and had a stop in Cortland for a donut. Good way to end the week. Next Friday evening we start the Long Voyage. It will be nice this year and not racing it but just getting in a good training ride in preparation for Cannonball 550 next month.
