Heh. Shame on me, but, take heart, it'll be wet, gray and chilly here soon enough (though apparently not this week).
Unfortunately, I had enough chores to do this morning that I didn't get started riding until almost noon, and had a flat less than a mile from the house! Rather than messing with a patch, I walked back and swapped-in a new tube, but this made my departure even later. On top of that, I had to be back earlier than I'd hoped for a relative's birthday dinner, so it made for a relatively short ride today - just 38 miles / 2,000 feet total climb in about 2.5 hours.
If the weather forecast is accurate, I may be able to do the 70-mile ride I want on Friday - I'll need it after Thursday :-)
This summer, I drove my Miata a lot less because I was riding a lot more, but it makes me really appreciate the time I do drive the Miata.
