Covered 13 miles on my bike this morning using toe cages for the first time, and I liked 'em other than come time to hop off, I need to remember my shoes are strapped in!

The ride out heading north on the bike path was good but coming back, there was a headwind...dang, it really made me work!

After putting on that new tube and tire on Friday night and having read the tire pressure is good up to 90 psi, I paid more attention to inflation today realizing my tires were a bit low so on the way I home I stopped and filled them to 80 psi. Just noticed the rear tire is coming off the rim and that's a tire installed by a small, bike shop in downtown Long Beach used to go to. Methinks I'm gonna have to have that checked out at Jones'. I don't really want to mess with the back tire, and the chain and all for fear I won't get it back together.

All in all, I'm feeling good about my training. Good thing, cuz I've got less than a month!
