Zing the sun
20°C, light NW, full sun.
A plodding ride in humid warmth. The average pace is quite good, I presume because it’s summer and I was on the Zing.
Racelite
23°C, light breeze, full sun.
Chain guages are invaluable. If you replace a chain before too long, then you don’t have to replace the cassette. My Zing passed the test, which is strange – it’s done 1,400.
The Racelite bike I was on failed the 0.75 and the 1.0 measure. That means a new chain is urgent.
Later: fitted a chain, but it skips over the cogs. Now need a new cassette. Nobody seems to have any in stock.
Warm at last!
19°C sunny and dry.
The wettest May on record has hit my milage somewhat.
Another thing, today was good weather to catch up on some laundry. Mundane, I know. For decades, I’ve checked laundry with a sniff test but it hasn’t worked since covid. Now, it’s back; if faintly. For six months that salty odour has been missing.
May be cold
12C°C, sunny but chilly for May, the sun is warm.
Raise you a Centurian.
14°C, full sun and dry. Light W.
Ideal cycling conditions and the cafe has reopened properly.
Zing hills
9°C, strong WSW, grey but dry.
Lots of hills and a long grind back in the wind. Writing this now, I can still feel it in my legs.
Though hard work, it was far more satisfying than the last few rides where I felt physically low. It was almost like that feeling after the AZ jab a few weeks ago.
First Zing
11°C, light S, bright sun.
Fine weather means an earlier than usual outing for the summer bike. As of last year, this is primarily the Kona Zing. It went well though the indexing needs a little work.
1000th mile (Zing).
20°C, sunny and dry. Light SW
I’m working over the weekend so need to clock up some miles during weekdays.
Ride till sunset
16°C, moderate W breeze, dry and sunny
A familiar route including Bannister Hill.
