The news is thin and far between today. Not one blog posting or news item.

While I was doing my Saturday ride today I was riding in the opposite direction to a steady stream of riders from what I am guessing is the QLS fitness club in Atascocita. This was a nice change from not seeing anyone.

Another sight was the signs on FM2100 fro Crosby to Huffman put up for Memorial Day. This is a distance of about 7 miles. About every 50 feet there was the sign with a large yellow ribbon and the name of a person in the military with the words “Thanks” and “In your honor”. Quite fitting for the men and women who have served our country.

Sadly though I had a flat tire close to the end of my ride so I had to fix that and the delay was enough to position me to get rained on as I rode the .7 of a mile home. No rain anywhere else, just my street. This was a reason to rotate my tires when I got home. I had been thinking of doing this to even out the tread wear and tear.

Overall I ended up riding just over 49 miles today. My goal for May is 543 miles and I am at 453 after today’s ride. Barring any major problems I should exceed my goal, maybe even amke it to 600 miles for the month.

The biggest challenge of the day was installing a ceiling fan in my house. 12 foot ceilings and a bed in the way made the installation a 4 hour ordeal. Thank goodness this is over.
