Week 38: Day 6 - 26 September 2020

  • morning run = 5.13 miles; time = 1:11:54; average pace @ 14:01
  • walked dogs = 2.6 miles total
  • indoor ride - roller training = 11 miles; time = 38:52; average speed @ 17mph
I finally got my bike back from Jax today. It had already been ready for pickup since Tuesday morning, but of course, I couldn't pick up before today. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays and their store hours are 11am to 5pm Tuesday to Saturday. I'm at work from 9am to 5:30pm during the week, so Saturdays are the only days that I can pick up or drop off my bike for any service work and I have to wait a week to pick it up after dropping off. My bike needed a six month basic tune up work done as well as getting a new chain, cables + housing (so the brakes can work from the handlebars), new brake pads, and new bar tape. The bar tape that I had on there was starting to somewhat unwrap itself from the handlebars. They also said that since the cables needed to be replaced, the bar tape wouldn't be able to stick anymore after being unwrapped. I got a different color bar tape (black with blue dots). As much as I wanted light blue bar tape to match some of the light blue color on the bike frame, it is hard to clean and it gets dirty very easily. The dirt doesn't show in photos, but it's easy to see in person. Anyway, I get to take my bike out for a road ride tomorrow to test out the new parts.
