Cycling 40:00 [3] 7.2 mi (5:33 / mi)
I wanted to get out for some exercise, but didn't want to run. Hey, what about a bike ride? I just restored my bike to rideability last month! Well, almost rideable -- one of the things I did was put on a "new" tire, but it was only new in the sense that it hadn't been ridden on. I had it lying around for 10 years or so. The sidewalls look crumbly and it was extremely hard to get on the rim, and now I see there's a flat spot where the bead isn't seated right. You can usually pop those things out by overpressuring the tire, but I'm kind of nervous about this tire. I think I'll get a couple new ones. Really new this time.
Up to Wheaton Regional Park and back via the Sligo Creek bike path.
