AM: 10.3 miles, averaged 9:29. HR 140.
Thursday Night Dirt is on and the rain didn't roll through. Sunny early this afternoon, clooudy this evening, but around 60, which is perfect cycling weather for me. Things have completely shifted for me this morning with looking forward to the ride and hanging out and socializing, something I really don't do. I'm going to get my butt kicked, but that's okay.
PM: 37.2-mile ride. HR 155.
Perfect night for opening night of Thursday Night Dirt. Around 60 degrees (!) and little wind. Gravel was in solid shape. We did a relaxed group ride with a slight pickup throughout the ride. About a solid B Group pace. HR was pretty high, but I felt really solid overall. We had beers and food at the brewery after as usual. This ride has been such a positive aspect of my time here.
My tire lost a good amount of air and was pretty much on the rim for a portion of the ride, but I have a tubeless setup, which allows pretty low PSI. Checked when I got home and it was at 5 PSI, which I am not sure if that was right. I can run 25-30 without much issue. Not sure if it is a sealant issue or valve stem issue, but inexpensive either way.
