7°C, clear, cold wind from sea.
Cycling: ~4,409 miles.
- Kona fixed gear– 984 miles,
- Arrow 16 speed (Shimano)-2,220 miles.
- Racelite 16 (campy)- 1,225 miles.
Fewer miles than I hoped for due to several problems-
- more rain than usual,
- more hiking,
- work related stress much higher than normal.
- Some loss of determination (related to the above),
- Winter ice cost a few hundred too,
I want to clear 5,000 miles in 2013 (by as much as a thousand miles to make up for 2012). To this end, the summer bike needs a good overhaul to avoid mechanical problems and ensure that it’s more fun to ride.
This point generates another list for January-
- Rebuild wheels,
- New headset
- New pedals.
Not too much cost, but quite a long turn-around while it’s away at the Campagnolo service center. No need to ride it until March though.
