TSURU, Thanks, It's easy when you have a wife who loves to ride and can ride almost as fast as her hubby. It all comes down to time, of course that means we have a few other things that don't get done when they should. Oh well!

4/13 - 35 miles
Rode to Romeoville and back. Rode on the Centennial Trail from 135th St. to I-355 overpass. Also rode on the I-355 path which stops before Bluff Rd. You really would have to walk up a steep hill to get to Bluff Rd. (135th St. torn up from IL-53 to the big bridge - road getting resurfaced soon.) Nice and beautiful the whole day.

4/13 50 miles, cold evening, temp must have dropped 10 degrees while we were out.

Yeah, I rode out that way (to Brookfield, 64 miles round trip) on Sunday.
I take Gaylord north, Renwick east, Weber north, Airport / Taylor east, then thru
the subdivision on the southwest corner of 135th & Rt. 53, to 135th and
on to the trail-head.

135th just completely sucks, you can't even use the sidewalk on the south side.
It does look like it's just simple re-surfacing, hopefully not a long project.

17 miles last evening, 20 miles this evening, mix of roads & the Greenway / Junction
MUP's.

Cheers,

Oh... 40 yesterday! Should get 40 tomorrow and we'll see on Thursday before we drive up to Toronto on friday for the weekend.

I usually take Essington north thru the mall area, cut thru mall, Essington north to the curve before Renwick, walk bike uphill and carry it over guardrail at Renwick, continue north on E. Frontage, Helen Dr. east, Budler north, Airport / Southcreek / Taylor east, Belmont north, Com Ed trail east, Spangler north, cut thru Romeo Centre Plaza, 135th east past 53 to trail.

I avoid Weber at all cost unless i'm going towards shopping area of west Bolingbrook or towards Whalon Lake preserve off Royce Rd. in which i'll use Budler Rd. up to it becomes SE Frontage Rd. then left onto Weber.

I went on my first group-ride of the year last night. My younger and stronger group-ride friends help me find new levels of cycling performance. I hit 168 bpm on my heart rate monitor last night. We were holding a 25 mph pace without any assistance from a slope or tailwind.

The ride started at 6:30pm and I got home at 8:30pm. Watching the sun set and enjoying the quiet of nightfall added to the pleasure of the ride.

Awesome!!! now stick with it and you will get stronger week after week and that ride will get easier and easier...

Rode 25mi yesterday and today which is a long ride for my form right now. Out in the country I ran across one of these guys right on the crown of the road, and he was ornery! Snap! Snap! He was just a little guy and not wanting him to see any harm, I took off my front wheel and flipped him back toward the pond he came from. Luckily he didn't snap at my tire when I did that! Heh heh.

40 yesterday, nothing today, by the time I pulled into home last night I was d-o-n-e. No real riding until we get back Toronto, so not til Tuesday.

No doubt. Those snappers have long necks and can easily reach all the way back to their tails!

But good on you from rescuing it. I came across a big one last year (about 24" long) but didn't feel like risking my anatomy to drag it off the road. I've seen snappers that size bite through a broom handle like it was paper!

4/17 42 miles and much to our surprise, not nearly as bad as we thought it would be based on the weather forcast and the cold and wind that was already here!

nerobro

4/17 13 miles on a new (to me) bike. I am quite pleased.

Did not get a-lot of riding in this week, but I was able to knock off a metric century today.

John Wilke, are turtles like that a common sight on your rides?

What's the most unusual thing you've seen?

Good 40 today... first time since Wednesday. Felt good. Stiff road-trip legs, but good.

Allegheny Jet

31 miles with 6 really hard one mile efforts.

Tsuru

Found some much needed mojo this morning around mile 13 or so.... Good strong finish.

Did 65 from Canal Winchester through Hocking county and back around. Hilly, rainy, rough, fast, & amazing! Hit 50 mph! WHEE!
