13.5 this morning, windy and got some medium hills. Was great, 70 degrees and a 10 mph wind.

Bikey Mikey 03-27-12 10:50 AM

24 miles today.

John_V 03-27-12 11:12 AM

Did my usual 30 mile, daily MUP ride. Too many things to do tomorrow, so it will be my off day.

24 miles Today, 1204 miles for the year.

I was a bike commuter today: 21 miles. 35 degrees F on the morning ride - hope it was the last 'cold' ride of the year.

Got out for the Tuesday evening bike shop ride. I cut it a bit short to get home for dinner but managed 22.5 miles with a few really good efforts. My legs felt way better today.

Dudelsack 03-27-12 08:18 PM

50 miler planned tomorrow. I really shouldn't. But I'm going to, Darwin willing.

Did the bike shop's Tues evening group mtb ride at a local city park. We were only out for an hour before it got too dark, but it was lots of fun - nothing too difficult, lots of smooth trails.

45km on Monday, 35 on Tuesday, 30 Today, Planning on 30 more Thursday and Friday then 50 each day on Saturday and Sunday. I'd like to do more,but family and work get in the way of torturing my body for fun...

12.5 miles of MTB on the moderate trails with a few club members.

Tuesday: 3 riders: Best day: No extra clothes needed: 100 miles on the White BMC Tour de Cure bike.
Got it dialed in for the 100 mile track ride in June.

Après moi, le deluge.

I did the Bernheim Ramble today, a club ride that starts south of Loovul (how bout them Cards?!) and heads straight south to Bernheim Forest, a beautiful arboretum maintained by the state. Rain was expected, and there wasn't a lot of stoping to smell the roses today.

It was a pity, because if the roses weren't in bloom, everything else was.

The redbuds are about three weeks ahead of schedule.

The visitor center is also lovely.

My bike among many.

About two hours after our return, a thunderstorm hit that deposited dime-sized hail everywhere. I'm glad I wasn't caught out on a bike in it.

Anyway, 50 miles when I should have been doing lots else. In 50 years it won't matter, I guess.

Phil85207 03-28-12 08:05 PM

66+ miles to day, just an easy pace recovery ride on Old Blue, I didn't even put on the HR strap today.

Just this. Really happy for the return of evening rides. And happy, too, for the pause between storms, when the roads are dry, the hills are green, the seasonal creeks & streams & ponds are peaking. Choruses of frogs, clusters of poppies and bluebonnets along the roadsides, big puffy cumulus clouds, and speeding downhill like a little kid.

I find the extra sun enhances my mood, too.

Gravity Aided 03-29-12 04:07 AM

10 miles yesterday. Nothing spectacular, except a new front tire on the Cannondale . More miles once chores are done

qcpmsame 03-29-12 05:35 AM

Had a gusty headwind yesterday, sunny day but the rain chance increases closer to the weekend. Everything is in full bloom around here. The dogwoods are beautiful this year. I pushed things a bit to see where I was at recovery wise and stood up to sprint for about 0.10 mile, nothing grandiose, but it felt really good to move out so fast after all the layoff and what not.

Another 30 mile ride at the wilderness MUP. Not much different than Tuesday's ride, nice cool starting temps and little wind today (3-6 mph). Right around noon time, the temps are starting to tell us that summer temps and humidity are just around the corner. :eek:

So, I assume that you lost the required weight in order to ride the 91?

Happy49 03-29-12 10:22 AM

Rode for about 15 minutes yesterday. That's an improvement for me. 1974 Raleigh. Fun. My goal is to become fit and healthy one minute at a time and one mile at a time. Forum very encouraging. Not much happening on newbie site. How do I get avatar on my posts.

Dudelsack 03-29-12 10:36 AM

It helps to have a photobucket site for the avatar. You also have to make sure your avatar is small enough.
