JimF2 starts having trouble on rides most of us would find impossible. Ain't none of us 26 any more, unless you're 26 of course. I last saw 26 forty years ago, but I couldn't have done those rides 40 years ago any more than I could do them now. So my hat's off to JimF2!

Ha, when I was 26 I weighed over 350 pounds... and I was on my way up from there. I can't help getting older, but at least I can try to keep from getting fatter.

Missed yesterday because of being on road working and today got in 17 minutes of riding before rain, lightening and thunder. Frustrating to say the least. Need to ride earlier in the day.

49 miles last night. Went to a "B" club ride that didn't make me so happy - for no particular reason it didn't suit my mood. Then I accidentally took a wrong turn (really, it was an accident) and found myself alone. So I very happily rode the final 20 miles along my own route, and was very happy.
I do love being in good shape - 50 miles in the evening (admittedly, not hammering) and it doesn't feel like a strenuous effort. It's so......satisfying.

Its certainly is a nice feeling, to be able to kick out the daily ride, 6-7 days a week, and not feel knackered from the efforts. Even the interval days don't seem as troublesome, I assume this means i need to work harder, though
. I am just not doing a daily report here, too much going on at work lately, thankfully.Bill

50 miles on a weekday is a little high, but I do have an ideal week. It's something like this: 120 hard miles on the weekend (e.g., 70 and then 50), Monday off, 40 easy miles Tuesday, 40 fast miles with the club on Wednesday, 40 easy miles on Thursday, Friday off, repeat. Life, weather, travel, minor injuries, and other things interfere, but that' my ideal. If I can do that most of the summer, I am beyond content.

A really pleasant ride today along town harbors and salt water marshes between towns. Harbors are nearly full of boats as owners get theirs' back in the water. Homes with water views sell for higher prices than ones without water views as people prefer being near water. I'm happier near water which is why I live in a harbor town. From a very slow beginning due to crummy weather, I'm slowly getting back in cycling shape.

Your riding plan is great to me, it has a good balance and you are realistic about what you want to accomplish. Well done.

Yesterday was the last Fire Department Retirees Luncheon until the end of summer so I opted to go to the luncheon instead of going on a ride. I was going to do another short, neighborhood ride but got home and it started to rain before I could get out there.
Nice 35 mile solo ride this morning. Temps in the 80's with mild winds but there were a few pretty strong gusts as it got closer to noontime. Since I still have the Ride of Silence to do tonight, I didn't bust butt on the ride this morning.

An excellent 20 mile ride on the Ride of Silence last night. I guess it interrupted my legs rest cycle because they failed to cooperate on this morning's planned 45 mile ride. Ended up doing half of that since I still have three more days of riding before my scheduled rest day.

AM rain Tuesday so I got a haircut but got in an afternoon ride for 10mi. I snuck in a 15mi ride on the Roubaix and just outran the rain on a 6mi trike ride. There was sunshine this morning - until I got on the bike. As soon as I got home from a 15mi ride the sun came out again. Then it tarted to rain as I was on my way home from lunch at the Senior Center. But I got my rides in anyway. Tbhptbhpt.
