This is an interesting situation. I believed this to be a zombie thread, but zombie implies reanimation independent of the mind of the original person. So technically this would be a cobweb. A bit dusty but whatever.

I open this to further debate.

BTW, glad to see the OP out and riding - and posting.

Great ride on the city bike:
37 miles on the rice field roads in and out of a very light rain.
Passed a little almost dead dog like a month old on the side of the raod so I had to pick it up and take it to the Vet and spend all the money I had with me to save it, get it shots and special dog food for the mange and special soap, I hope he lives.
If he makes it I will take him back to the Vet next Saturday for more shots and I will have a forth dog. (well guarded house)

Great reports, though regardless, you should be happy with your accomplishments, they seem to be good rides to me. Ride Lots and Ride Safe!!

So, what does cutting rice look like?

Morning from tomorrow,
Just had a wonderful ride, 27 screaming miles on my road bike.
I keep my RPM’s at 82 and could not get my heart over 110. I must be getting into real good shape again. I even pushed a gear up-hill with a head wind and only got up to 111.
Weather is great, rode in a tee shirt and riding shorts and shoes. Had a little mist after getting home but the sun is out and it’s 83.1.
Have a happy day!!

Like the op many people on this site regularly write in detail about their rides. Always made more interesting to those of us who don't know the locations with the addition of pics.

Yes, but this one isn't just a ride report; it's an entire journal within a forum.

And what would we be without that? Probably trending toward a medical/pharm forum.

Move to an even higher gear and you'll get your HR up.

Being unable to get your HR up indicates either you're not working hard or you need a rest day.
