This evening’s ride is my last preparation ride for Saturday’s Hotter’n Hell Hundred. Tomorrow we set out for Wichita Falls. This evening the temperature was 93 degrees but it did not seem that hot. Skies were clear and the wind a gentle 11 mph maximum. I did not see any other riders while I was out. When I got back I put chain lubricant on and pinched the tires to see if I should air them up more. I think they are aired enough from the pinch but also from the solid thump when I ride over pavement changes. I don’t think there are any other maintenance issues to check. tire thread is still good from when I rotated the tires a couple of months ago. all that is left is the drive. I was able to meet my goal for the miles for this part of the week. I should be able to get 75 on Saturday and maybe 20 on Sunday. It is possible to hit 600 miles for the month.
