Rode 20 miles yesterday over hilly (to me) terrain, half of that into a 20+ mph headwind. At one point I truly thought I was going to roll backwards down the hill. I've got to work on climbing.



This morning we did another 20.6 miles but with no wind and I did a little better on the climbs!

My Daughter needed the car/so I rode home with the beech traffic never a nice ride but the weather was good and the fall foliage along the river was nice. will ride back up in the morning/Kenneth

Even if unintentional, a great pun.

just 5 miles to work then 5 back. dark and snowing this morning cold and clear on the way home. always a joy though. always hate it when its over.

Now that might be the worst sentence I have read all year and the thought is just as bad. It makes me cringe

My wife and I rode on the Withlacoochee trail Sunday also. We rode 40 miles. It was a a nice day with plenty of snacks at all of the SAG stops and then hot dogs, baked beans, pie, and free beer at the end.

Today I took my kayak to work and had a nice paddle in the Crystal River on the way home. As I was coming back to the boat ramp I saw 4 porpoises slapping the water with their tails, chasing mullet and then throwing them in the air and catching them again. I don't usually carry my camera around the salt water but I wish I had it today.

Rode 16 miles today after 6 days off recovering from a hard fall on my mountain bike. Finally can breath deep without pain. Pretty nice going out, but when I started back I understood why. STIFF headwind all the way home, but hey, it was good to be back on the bike again.

Where's the detailed ride report with pictures? Or did I miss it. Congratulations.

I did a fine little 16 mile lunch ride today.
Had the extra bonus of getting to try out my CO2 pump and Park Tool "Instant Patch" or whatever they call it.

+ 1

Be sure to replace that temporary patch with a real one. Those self-adhesive patches are notorious for peeling off after a while.

We had a great time on this ride and will do it again next year. I thought it was well organized and I tried to thank as many of the event workers as possible at each SAG stop. I have really got the urge to move over to your area and be able to ride that trail weekly.

YA MY WIFE SAID I always talked better with my hands than my mouth/Kenneth

I rode my bike back from home to my daughters to retrieve car but ended up going on to pick up woods truck [finally ready] final ride about thirty miles in great fall foliage and dismal traffic that I do not like/Kenneth

IM with you KR32 terrible sentence/Kenneth

Nice 30 miler to a couple of beautiful cape beaches on a beautiful October day............God I love retirement!!

Did about 5 miles on one of the local mountain bike trails. That is a world of difference from riding the roads. I rode 17 yesterday on the road and it was strenuous, but that mountain trail today was EXHAUSTING. I do enjoy that type riding and it is such a great workout, but after my recent crash, the thought of laying out there alone is always in the back of your mind. Tend to be a little more cautious!!

Did about 12 miles on MTB on roads today. I had to pay electric bill so I was going to ride mtb there and drop it off. The local rail to trails was around the corner so I went there and did 2 miles of that and turned around and came home.

This was the first time I ever rode a bike for a specific task too other than fun and health. 4000+ miles of fun and health this year and now I do a task ride, might start doing more.

Come on over, there are plenty of houses for sale cheap. Seriously this is a great place to live and work and it will be even better when I am finished working.

1.5 hours of cyclo cross practice. Included in the workout was dismounts/mounts, stair climbing carries, 14 short steep hill repeats, and finished off with a couple laps at race pace.

Still very hot and humid here
85 miles with temps of 79* to 91* Sunny.

nada today
