Another banner month

Like a repeating posting.....

June's weather has not been great, but as long as the roads are dry I can continue to blade. Earlier in the month I had the unfortunate incident of losing a wheel while blading. This meant I had to order a new set of wheels and bearings, as well as an axel and spacer, to replace the one missing item.
These arrived mid-month, but really did not impact my kms that much as I continued to blade on 9 wheels, while waiting.

So, the result was that I have been able to put in 383km this month. Today is looking like it will repeat the pattern, cloudy, cool but dry....so that will increase to probably 406km tonight. That would be the first time I have ever put in 400km in a month.
I broke some other records this month as well. I had a 168km week, as well, I had 2 blades which were 30km in length and I had a 46km day. These are all records.
My blade average is also 17.5km which will be a record as well at the end of the year.

I am about 10% above last years totals to date, so I should easily reach my 1,500km goal. This will probably happen sometime in August, or at worst, in early September. My opportunity for blading drops in July and August (15 blades per month), but that is still 690km if I can blade each of these days at 23km which is my new daily committment.

I will be looking at replacing my 5x80mm this year with a 5x84mm frame. This will be a bit expensive though as I have to replace the frame and wheels. I could re-use the bearings, but I will probably get a new set of those as well. The 5x84mm is a little more standard, should be quicker as well, not that speed is my primary motive. Still a thought, but I will probably get a new set of wheels and bearings in any case, so might as well move to the next size up.
