Love it. Words to live a healthier life by.

I rode 26 miles today. Tomorrow I'll get to my 100 miles for the week goal.

I did another 100km ride out to Saitama, and then to Tokyo Bay. I felt very good heading out, I’ve managed to ride nearly 2000km since the end of February, and my fitness level is now pretty high. But the headwind going back toward Tokyo bay was ridiculous, the water in the river had white caps. I dogged it out as best I could, and kept up a strong pace, but it wore me out.

But this morning I feel very good, I wish I had time to go for another ride.

Whew! I've been off the bike for about 10 days due to life stuff and then a cold. It felt so good to hammer out an hour on the trainer yesterday!

Careful what you say, there are people on this forum that don't believe trainer time is riding :commute::) Good on you. I too use the trainer for more than a work stand.

Today I rode 26 miles completing my 100-mile goal for the week.

missinglink 05-11-24 08:38 PM

12 miles today.
I rarely see another cyclist on my daily route, but there was a scattered group today that must have been from a club ride out of the city or something.

Nice ride on the Brian Baylis ride + round trip from home.

25 miles today. Hopefully can complete 100 miles this week. But rain is coming in my area.

Cheated the wind tonight. Went out at 7:15 when it had died down. Got 16 miles in.

Cheers,

Scott

I was out early this morning, at 8:15. I was able to get a 25 mile in. I didn’t go to the Senior Center today as again life obligations get in my way. But 25 is a good way to start the week.

It's not only a good way to start the week, it's the best way to start the week!:thumb:

Cruising the neighborhoods. Good for 16 miles.

Cheers,

Another day out riding, I thought I gave myself plenty of time to get to the senior center for cards, but I walked in just in time. I stayed for lunch and cribbage and then went home. The best part is I got 24 miles in today.

PromptCritical 05-14-24 06:18 PM

We did 52 miles on the tandem today, down to and around Mission Bay and lunch with friends in Pacific Beach and back home. My better half did great (her longest tandem ride yet)!

Hello from Amesbury!
Two weeks ago I got a bicycle after a long time without one. I'm doing some exploring now.

Decided to ride long yesterday, mostly to build stamina for a 5-day tour next month. I was pretty toasted by the end (or really at about mile 73), and was reminded that the best way to build stamina is to ride a lot!

After yesterday's 44.44 mile ride this soon to be 74yo body was only able to perform a short ride. BTW, my bike is a 1982 DAHON 20" wheel 6 speed with rear rack - basket mounted and tools + lock = 40+ pounds.

25 Miles today. Not a great riding week due to storms.

Bald Paul 05-16-24 01:37 PM

I was planning on leading a club ride tonight. Weather is beautiful, sunny and warm. 19 mile route from the Upstate into NC and looping back.
Problem is, the pollen count is so terribly high today I can barely breathe. :cry: I hate pollen season.

Samac 05-16-24 05:11 PM

Rode to work today. 10 mile round trip. Beautiful out. Went through neighborhoods, parking lots and bike paths.

Cheers,

Scott
