A whopping 5 miles after work yesterday - clear streets, mid-30's, no precipitation. Took the LWB V3 out and really enjoyed the ride.

One hour on the trainer, while watching Ellen on the boob tube. Forty degrees and sprinkling outside. Rode a bit yesterday, what I thought was a cool breeze turned out to be a bitter cold wind, once I got on the bike. I HATE WINTER!!!!

Two hour trainer class tonight. I was reflecting, on the way home, about how much I've been riding lately. In the past 7 days I have spent 11.75 hours on a bike. It's been 13 weeks since the ankle fusion surgery, I'm officially back! Next I have to catch up with the guys who didn't take a couple months off.

February 26, yes, another beautiful but cold day and I am lovin it.
Temp in the low 40s when I left before noon. Rode 20+ miles and had my second meeting with the Parks and Recreation Dept. Wind was out of the NNW @ 6/10 so it was no factor. It was a beautiful Florida day. Not a cloud in the sky......
I don't like 20 mile rides so I might try for another 20 later to make it a 40 mile day. I have got to step it up as I am only tracking at a 6300 mile year so far.

I finally got back out on the bike after a week of laying off due to heavy sinus pressure and cold symptoms. It was sunny and mid 50s, but the wind was blowing. I planned my route to be mostly headwind in the first half and mostly tailwind later. The plan worked out pretty well and I put in 50 miles on the Casseroll (Butternut).

March 1, yes, another absolute beautiful day and I am loving it.
Temp in the high 50s when I left about 11AM. Rode 28+ miles. Wind was out of the SSE @ 6 so it was no factor. Stopped at The Out Spoken Bike Shop in Lake Mary and had a new freewheel and chain installed. It was a beautiful Florida day. Not a cloud in the sky......

18 miles after work. Looking forward to Daylight Saving Time in a couple of weeks so that can be more like 30 to 40 miles.

Last night's workout was supposed to be outside but I chickened out and rode indoors because it was dark and 30 degrees when I got home from work. I don't mind riding in the dark but don't trust my judgment for cadence and HR zone. Spent 2 sweaty hours on the rollers and trainer. First 30 minutes was a warmup on the rollers @ 105 rpm then went on the trainer for a Z3 interval @ 95-100 rpm for 1.5 hours. It was a breakthrough workout for me after the ankle fusion. I feel back up to speed and am riding without limitations, concerns or guilt.

The Baroque World Of Fernando Botero
Feb. 2, a very cold windy evening 20 mile ride through downtown St. Pete with SloSpoke Tina. We made a quick stop at the art museum that is featuring some sculptor who's name I can't pronounce. I think he had a thing for large women.
