Riding 20.83 miles today is the longest ride in September. That says how September collapsed from the September 3rd collision. Not complaining since this could’ve been way worse. I increased the daily mileage each ride to prepare to get back on my road bike this week. September mileage totals 120.90. Pretty low. December is my usual low mileage month but probably not this year.

The left leg swelling continues to shrink which is great. Tomorrow I go to physical therapy for my right shoulder. It still has sore muscles.

I almost used the road bike but I am waiting on my new rear view mirror. Well I am waiting no more. When I pulled up to the driveway at the end of the ride I saw the mail arrived and inside the mailbox an envelope with my new mirror waited to be opened. This is what I was waiting for.

So tomorrow, weather willing, I plan on getting back on the Motobecane Le Champion CF road bike.

The weather today started off with some rain but by the afternoon when I left on the ride the clouds let a little blue through. To the west some dark clouds hung up there but no rain during the ride. As I pedaled along I planned spots to get out of the rain if it did come along. Yesterday the weather also include a dose of rain. The streets were damp until late afternoon so no thought of riding on the trails. The humidity was high today at 67% and the temperature hovered around 85 degrees. The 9.2 mph breeze just moved the wet air around some. When I got home my bandana was soaked with perspiration. I applied sunscreen remembering the UV rays come through clouds too.
