Good 30 mi Ride 2 weeks ago

Last weekend did a good 30 mi ride on my beater single speed with no complaints. Lots of sweat, but no problems. Time to step it up to 50…



I enjoyed the last one 1 month ago

(apart from the accident and the knee damage…) and it gives me something to aim at. I shall do one on my birthday again (2009/04/26) and another on 2009/08/16 (The Grace 100). It would be fun to do one sometime before Xmas this year. November?

I am learning metric assloads about bike mechanics and engineering. Always good…

So I am not riding as often as I should: 3 months ago

The plan, in the abstract at least, is to ride about 30 minutes a day during the week, early before breakfast, and about 60-90 minutes on the weekend until my stamina gets up to speed.

Yesterday? No ride. Today? No ride. It was chilly, and I am seriously under-motivated to do anything in the morning.

Suggestions for staying focused?

Done!
And I didn’t stop there, I just kept on going, the ride was the 08 harpoon brewery to brewery ride.
It 100% kicked my butt, and looking back, I enjoyed it, but I was in agony during it.

I need to spin more. Get that cardio up.

It is so hard to mack cute joggers looking like you’re about to die. Not that it keeps me from trying, mind you….

I am giving myself until I am 40 to do this, which is a year and a half away. I’ll be starting more or less from scratch, having only recently taken up the sport for fitness, but getting bitten by the bug hard. I can barely make it 10 miles, I get passed like I’m standing still, and I walk the bike up most hills. That’s okay by me- a month I was basically sedentary.

Enough time to train for the event and really looking forward to it.

So far, longest ride in one day was 92 miles. I was shooting for 100, but had to stop because of the heat. AAaagh. So close. But, it was a good call. My legs were cramping and I wasn’t sweating anymore.

This year I will finish!
