Over the holiday weekend I passed the 5,000 mile mark on the Madone. I’ve had the bicycle since last June. So far, so good. I’ve had an issue with a wheelset I subsequently purchased. But as far as the original bike goes, all I’ve had to replace are a few tubes, tires, and the chain.
I didn’t go out for any longer distance holiday rides; just did a few shorter rides close to home. It was hot and I’ve had a little knee issue. The traffic was relatively light the past few days, so that was better.
The route takes me by a soccer “complex” which has six or so sets of goals. Recently, with the World Cup in progress, I’ve been noting how many people are actually playing soccer there. You know, the sport supposedly being popular and all. I think the largest number of people I’ve seen is six.
What a waste of space.
