Rides in June

The rides in June started late and ended early. We had just returned from Metz and the rides along the Moselle at and I didn't get on my bike until June 4 and on June 25 I was in the hospital again for a cardiac ablation which meant no cycling for the rest of the month. But in the time in between I managed to ride every day.

We had lots of rain at the beginning of the month, and in between too, but usually I could find a dry window for a short ride. Once on the way to my taichi class I had to ride in the rain. Sometimes I even like riding in the rain.

I haven't been very conscientious about recording my kilometers this year, but I think it has been something like 2,150 km for the first half of 2024.

Distance since I bought my bike, a Simplon, in June 2021. That's an average of 5,510 Km a year.
