    Scene from last night’s pedal boat workout! 12 boats joined together moving as one beastly float.

    Did I exercise today? Hmmm, if chasing an 8.5 mo old human who is now crawling for four hours counts, then yep, sure did!

    I did a ”simple” 20 mile ride, today. Also a bit windy but not quite as bad. My legs had some unkind things to say at the start of the ride, but they felt better after 5 miles or so. Was glad to get outside!

    Did 34 miles on my road bike yesterday…and 2544ft of climbing. Ouch. We didn’t originally plan to do that much climbing. We were looking to find roads that were flanked by lots of trees and therefore feel less wind. (The winds were pretty high, yesterday. Push my bike sideways a few times – eich.) It just turned out those roads had plenty…[Read more]

    For those addicted to Strava, how about a VR Strava club? I would go ahead and set one up but I figured Ross should at least give the ok to use the VR brand! So Ross is it OK?

    Just completed my first off road ride back and woohoo it was sweeeeeeet. Nothing beats the thrill and suffering of riding off road. I struggled on the climbs which is bound to happen after so much time away from exercise but overall I couldn’t be happier :)

    Got a coach to get ready for Cyclebration June 8-10, and the last week was spent in a two wheeled living hell!! AND I LOVE IT!!

    The other days were spent in the gym working on overhead mobility and glute strength.

    Do RKC power planks people, you will love them!!

    Just finished a 47 mile ride with 1280 ft climbing, at 18 MPH… Put in 2 second best segments. Pretty good for so early in the season. The same ride last year was at 17.8 MPH…

    Finished the week at 122 miles, 2 days off then an easy 45 min spin ride on Tuesday.

    Been a suckee updater, but it looks like this:
    MWF strength training
    If the Gods of cycling smile down upon me, riding Tu/Th/Sat/Sun
    As much stretching/rolling out as I can do on a daily basis!

    Had a hankering to get in a simple ride, yesterday. When I a friend called in the afternoon asking if I wanted to go, I jumped at the chance (after rushing to finish up some work I had to complete, first). Just shy of 18 miles, which was just fine considering how windy it was. My legs felt better than expected from Saturday’s ride. I did feel some…[Read more]

    48 miles today on Silver Comet Trail (the hilly part – bugger of a Cat 5 climb in there). Previous to that, the longest road ride I had done was 21 miles so far this year/month. Really enjoyed it. Had a group of 4 other buddies along, and we just had a blast together. That’s what it is all the about!

          That was 2 weeks ago? Nothing much to say. I was told 20-5 and it ended up being 35, and I didn’t bring enough water. Here I am with my commuter tires, rack and lights on my Bianchi playing with the fast guys a bit, and passing people on $5k carbon bikes up the hills. :D But by the time we were done, I was in the back and DONE!

    Hopped on my road bike for the first time in nearly 6 months. Sure, I’ve been ridding mtb here and there, but it’s not the same thing. Ouch – those 21 miles hurt (especially the hills). I have work to do!

      I found my winter commuting, although not much, has helped. My stamina isn’t there, but my power seems to be.
