50.1 mi. @ 20 mph avg. 2:30:36
I was on the verge of leg cramps the last 6 miles, it made the last 20 minutes pretty miserable. |
33 out of 50 miles before the bad weather came.

Partly cloudy and cool for a perfect riding day. Kiwanis group ride up (I emphasize UP) old hiway 395 to the Chocolate Nugget. About 1200' of climbing - with extra gravity. My 220lbs is not exactly best friends with gravity. But there was chocolate!
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=464018 18.4 miles with a high of 37.58 mph (the fastest I've ridden in a long time), of course downhill. 2015: 2619 Miles ♂ Monthly Avgs: Day 18 - Wk 127 2013-2015: 7293 Miles–Total Avgs: Day 15.9 - Wk 111 Allez 569.5 - Roubaix 634.4 - Sirrus 343.5 - Trike 1071.6 |
Another 42.7 on the tandem today. Our streak of consecutive metric centuries stops at 3.

59 miles on Day 1 of Tour de Wyoming. More headwind than I like the last 30 miles. 88 miles on tap for tomorrow from New Castle to Custer. Yes. We spend several days inSouth Dakota.

I drove out to the western suburbs of Richmond, VA (Manakin Sabot, VA) parked in a church parking lot, and started from there. I had my old ancient Garmin eTrex GPS on the handlebars, and it measured 30.35 miles vs what MapMyRide said. But nonetheless, I had a great time earlier today just before lunch. I rode at an avg speed of 15.3 mph and was a little tired when I was done, but nothing bad. I haven't ridden that far since I was a teenager! I'm happy that at 54, I was still able to do it! :)

Nothing today for me. Smacked my knee into a rock while trail running yesterday, resulting in swelling and stiffness. Gonna have to take it easy for a couple of days, I guess. Drat.
|
35.5 miles @ 17 mph Warm (87 deg) but low humidity again today. Gave me 201 miles for the week. First time I've cracked 200 since I had the second ablation. So far so good.;)
|
Did almost 47 miles with nearly 2800 feet of climb this morning. I'm still feeling it.

Saturday I rode the local "Pedal for Paws" a benefit for the humane society. My intent was to ride the 47 mile loop but of course I ended up riding the 65 miler with 3800 feet of climbing. This is 20 miles more than my longest this year. I took it slow and made liberal use of my granny gear. It was a very nice course and I can't complain about any climbing as I live in the area and am well aware of the topography-short but steep hills with nice flat runs in the valleys. Its the 1st metric century I've done in a couple of years but nice to know that it can still be done.

The usual cool morning ride on the Truckee River Bike Path - 18.6 @15mph on the Allez. Beautiful morning. Ultra-easy after yesterday's climb.

Did a 15 mile ride this am on the Suncoast trail off SR54 in Land O Lakes, fl. Was 81 degrees at 7:30 - UGH! Forgot to add- broke my mph average on my Cannondale Quick 4 @ 15.6 mph.
|
26.5 @ 17.4 with a few rollers - 699 ft elevation gain. humidity is creeping back up 86 deg. Wet socks after ride reminds me of my running days.:p

A relaxed 30 mile ride with my wife in the south Okanagan Valley.

19 miles easy ride, with a nice view of the palisades
|
35 with the guys and 36 on my own. Figured I'd stop at 65 but the sun hid behind the clouds so I rode some extra.
|
Checked the weather and it looked like I had a couple of hours between T Storms that were rolling through today. Plenty of time to get in an interval workout. Set out and was having a nice productive session hitting my power numbers and feeling good. You know what happened, I know you do, on my last interval the sky opened and I mean deluge. At least I got the workout in.Just cut off the post workout easy miles and ended up with 18.6 miles.
|
tonight was only my second side since getting a new bike on Sunday. You guys blow me away but I have to start somewhere. I did 6.5 miles in 34 minutes, same route as Sunday with better results.
p.s. I turn 50 in November, hope we can let that slide :) |
[MENTION=415267]NukiWaza[/MENTION] Everyone starts with small distances, and no matter how much I ride, there's always someone who rides further, or faster. Just as long as you're having fun riding, it's all good.
Rode 39 miles with 3800 ft. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3707/...14dd578a_b.jpg. |
An excellent 45 mile ride this morning. With a ride this good, there's not much you can add.

Did a 35 mile ride with some friends this morning. Nice ride, good conversations and great friends. :D

15.5 miles on the Allez. Weather is heating up but still in the low 90s. Cool in the am makes for a nice ride.

A quick 16.3 mi. at 19.5 mph this morning.

17.5 mi @ 17-21mph on the Schuylkill River trail....rained pretty hard halfway through for about 20 mins so I was soaked but it was hot out so it felt good and i was sweating to begin with. The new Kestrel Talon 105 is sweet and I upgraded the wheels to Campys with Gatorbacks. What a difference from my 99 cad3 Cdale
