Last week

Last week left on Wednesday to help my son in Tampa had leg surgery for chronic compartment syndrome. Drove the 1150 miles had not done that kind of solo driving in many years. Was hard and hard on back in car that long.
The best part helping my son though was getting to Nashville to see my friend owns the vintage guitar store. But the cycling down in Tampa is bad. I could not really get out away enough to do real road ride. I did my usual power walk and on Monday road around hit neighbor hood loops to get miles. No traffic memorial day every and was residential but never went farther than about 2 miles from his house.
Not a fan of Tampa at all. I did like the heat but it was at 6am so not as bad. Got back today and really Illinois is not such a bad place. I am completely wiped out driving 770 miles yesterday and 375 today. I real bike century would be a piece of cake compared to the distance and traffic. Atlanta was nuts and Nashville at rush hour. Next time it is plane and rent a bike. However having your own bike is worth a lot. Also, the 32 mm tires only need about 65 PSI so my mini leyzine pump actually works fine. 250 strokes no hard to do and you are fine.
