hmmm, why is that do you think?

Managed to get 20 miles in after work last night. Beautiful weather, mid 60's and light winds.
I didn't hydrate like I should have, had some cramping in my right calf. I have to be more proactive about that during the day.
No pics until I get to 10 posts.

Just 25 mi today. Beautiful day though - sunny in the 70s, first ride this season in short sleeved jersey. Hooray. Can't wait for it to get a bit warmer for some nite rides.

Hello. I was born, and raised in the Great Garden. Went to Newark State College, and Middlesex County College.
Great place to grow up. I miss the place.
Take care during this pandemic.

Only 10 miles in the afternoon heat on my Caddilac comfort bike, just tooling around today.

102.6 miles with 3800’ of climbing. I rode with some other riders for the first time in months. After doing a lot of 100+ mile solo rides, it was nice getting the advantages of riding with a group. We had 10 riders so it was a nice sized group. I have done several rides with most of the riders so I was comfortable riding with them. For two of the riders it was their first Century so it was fun helping them get to the finish. There weren’t any long or steep hills so I only used the big ring.

The temperatures got warm after noon but it was okay as long as we were moving. A young kid handed us flavored ice pops out the window of a van while passing us which was both a surprise and a nice treat!!

I’m in the bright green jersey on the right.

9 mile grocery run.

horatio 05-17-20 09:54 AM

First ride in a month. I could not handle all the pollen this year, so I just stayed indoors! No HRM today; no cyclometer, no watch even! I think I rode about 1.5 hours, JRA. No goals. No stress. Just turning the cranks. I did take the DeRosa. Man, what a sweet ride. :D

Photo to come.

Good for you! It was the worst pollen season ever!! But the spring flowers and foliage has been incredible!

smoore 05-17-20 01:20 PM

22 rolling miles today. Temps were perfect in low 70s when I started but they rose quickly and we got the first 80 degree temps this year and worse...first high humidly of the season.

I also didn't eat a proper breakfast (just cereal and coffee) and halfway through the ride had to eat my energy bar AND my Gel. At seventy you would have thought I had learned a thing or two...but I wanted to get out quickly before it got hot. :) LOOK 585 rode stellar though.

velojym 05-17-20 02:12 PM

10 miles on my little cutoff loop this morning, and just finished a 1 mile scout of my usual walking route, which is considerably hillier. Made it just fine, and will probably start doing some laps of that on occasion, to get some hill into these legs.

My 14 mile ride again. Had a deer shoot across the path, second later she would have nailed me.

SammyJ 05-21-20 10:59 AM

This is my local MUP, I can see the trail from my porch. I also see a lot of the same people. It's a pleasant ride with associated wildlife

In the low 90°F and got in a 63 mile ride today now 25 days out from my being run into by mama pig that left me with the cracked left scapula, ribs number 5 and 6 left side cracked and punctured lung with all healing nicely yet still tender.

Lemond1985 05-21-20 07:09 PM

Thanks for the update. I think I may have cracked some ribs too, they are the last thing still bothering me. My road rash is all healed over and hip and shoulder swelling is gone. The last of the scab on my head fell off, I'm good 'cept for the old mc ribs. But they should be OK by the weekend, I'm hoping.
