I’ve got quite a short circuit going!
It’s important to always wear clean cycling shorts for a ride; and I have five pairs that I use in rotation. They aren’t enough for me to “save” them up to wash once a week; and I wash a pair nearly every day, by hand. Even though I now have an automatic washing machine, I intend to stick with that routine.
Speaking of short circuit: if I had an ebike, I’d worry about such an occurrence every time I got caught in the rain. I’m sure that ebikes are designed to minimize this risk; but I think I’d still be concerned about it! I’m a bit of a worrywart, you see.
This morning I rode to the salvage store; and I was glad that I didn’t haul that trailer this time. Before I got back home around 10:00 am, the wind had increased to 13 mph; and within the next hour, it got stronger!
I still haven’t rid myself of the get-it-while-I-can mentality that I developed when COVID-related stay-at-home mandates were possible; and I got some more canned goods. The grab-bag bins had little in them; but I found some other things that I can use for ride food.
I hope the weather doesn’t short circuit my ride tomorrow! The greatest chance for rain is in the afternoon; so maybe I’ll start my ride earlier than usual. It’s nearly 80 degrees right now; and for March, that’s too warm.
I want to push for 40-43 miles tomorrow. Twice within three weeks the weather has thwarted my efforts; and I’m getting fed up with it.
