Week 7 (w/e 17 February 2013)
Miles: 112
I finally got my bike serviced this week! About time too.
Monday's weather was clear and sunny and best of all, there was no wind. Unfortunately I didn't get out on the bike. For one thing I was giving it a good clean ahead of taking it into the bike shop the next day so they could price up the service. The weather was fine on Tuesday, so after riding to the bike shop and back I went out into the countryside for a trip, coming home with 19 miles on the clock. I didn't add to that later in the evening, mostly because it was bitterly cold out. Wednesday morning saw some snow fall here, but this turned to rain by the afternoon, becoming heavier in the evening. So no miles were done. Thursday was sunny and felt mild. I took the bike to the shop in the morning and rode it home later, post-service. I then went for a test drive. What a difference it made! I came home at teatime with 36 miles and did another 8 later in the evening.
Friday was mostly clear and sunny. I did a 40 minute ride in late afternoon, advancing to 54 miles in the process. This became 62 miles later in the evening when I'd done the usual loop into the countryside and back. Saturday was cloudy but fine. I cycled into town, then did another half an hour's worth when I got back. Another ride in the evening closed the day with 86 miles. Sunday was sunny and felt quite warm for February, so I went out in the afternoon for an hour and came home with the ogligatory 100 in the bag. Another 30 minutes or so in the evening saw me finish the week with 112 miles exactly.
