rode at Vultures Knob today. Halfway into our second lap my chain broke on a nasty climb and I jammed my knee into my stem. OUCH!! I have a Grapefruit for a knee now

51.68 miles on the touring bike. A friend is just getting back on the bike after back problems and wanted a leisurely pace, so touring bikes were the choice. Did a combination of two regular rides backwards. Amazing how different the scenery is coming the other direction.

Beee-U-tiful weather to ride today. Did 55 miles down through Elgin and Hoffman Estates over to the Penny Road route roads and then back. Wonderful day to ride.
Came home and then went on a 5 mile jaunt around the neighborhood with my family. Mrs. CyLowe rocked it hauling the kids in the trailer.
Did I mention the weather was absolutely amazing?

Does the 3 miles I pedaled my grocery getter to the supermarket and back count?

Sure it counts - probably more than most all of my rides since they don't replace any fossil fuel usage or serve any purpose aside from fun and fitness (and satisfaction of obsession). I'd like to occasionally ride to retrieve food instead of consume it, but they keep moving the grocery stores further away into the burbs.

8/10 - Team Time Trial with aham23. Painful does not begin to describe it. I think even aham was impressed with the depth of the hurt box we were in.
Flat, fast and windy. Pretty sure we got our butts handed to us, but we actually did fairly well (about where I thought we would be). We actually passed a lot of groups, but with everyone leaving at all different times and doing 2 laps on the same course it was hard to tell who was where and if the team you were passing was a good thing for you or not.
Think we got last in the Cat 4 grouping, but I only think there were like 3 teams listed as 4's. We beat at least one team signed up as Masters 30+ (our category as well). We beat the pants off a lot of the old folks and juniors.
It was brutal. 50K is a long time trial for me.
My reward....a saddle sore the size of Texas. It just applied for it's own zip code.

Did a nice 52 mile ride this morning, I went a different direction than I normally ride and did a bunch of roads I've never ridden before. 3 German Shepherds decided to help me work on my sprinting today

24 miles on the dark ass Olentangy bike path in Columbus. Good ride, but need new 5:45 am route.
And hey, any you guys out there at that time with a 10,000,000 Watt helmet light on.... please don't look at me when you ride by, you are like a car with it brights on while riding on a pitch dark road.
Completely blinding......

8/12 = yes = 31 miles
planned an easy recovery type ride before work. a flat at mile 20 made sure the ride was easy. first, its August, which means a lot of the country roads i ride get a coating of gravel tar crap. second, the first new tube i tried had a small hole in it, THANKS Performance!! . third, when i got the second tube on, inflated, tire installed and started rolling out i had a bouncy rear wheel. a lovely little buldge in the tube or tire made for a run ride home. sure, i could have tried to correct it, but i was already pissed off and trying to limit the damage. it sure was nice out this morning though. later.

I ride everyday possible. Today early at 7am my 8 year old grandson and I had a nice 21 mile ride along the lake. Cool at 56 degrees but it was a nice ride with him. Now if I can get my four year grandaughter to get off the training wheels she can start riding as well with us
