Had an interview...and then went for a bike ride.  Not much to report, other than the fact that I hate hills!  I'm sure it is just my imagination, but it seems that where I live is at the top of a hill so everything is downhill from here....and killer hills on the way back.  Like I said, probably my imagination ( Read more... )

The heat here is killing me.  The past few days it has been near 100, which doesn't give me too many options for going cycling.  I did manage a ride a couple of days ago where I rode for over 25 miles, but ended up cracking pretty hard after the first major climb.  After that climb, I struggled to make it back home.  The next day I followed that up ( Read more... )

I figured I better get out and do some cycling before one of my motivations ends tomorrow (the Tour de France for those wondering).  I was feeling pretty good so I decided to add to my route, ended up riding 22.69 miles in 1:31:11 for a 14.8 mph average speed and hit a max speed of 30 mph ( Read more... )

Dusted off my road bike for some much needed riding this morning.  Now I'm trying to recover from the pain that I inflicted on myself.  But I did manage a personal best and hit 36.5 mph on one of the downhills.

15.45 miles in 1 hour 1 minute and 35 seconds for a 15.0 mph average.

Wow, my muscles seemed to have disappeared over the last year and a half.  I rode my bike again today and noticed that I've lost a lot of strength in certain muscle groups.  Guess I'll just have to focus a little on those areas.

And just for the record, here are the numbers.  8.20 miles in 32 minutes 34 seconds for a 14.9 mp/h average speed.

And by that I mean my legs feel like jello after cycling today.  I rode with

Well, I finally broke down and did some exercise.  I road my bike for 40 minutes 55 seconds, 9.66 miles, for a average speed of 14.1 mph (I didn't do the math, by bike computer did).  My legs are complete jello right now, but still not bad since I haven't ridden my bike since my son was born (18 months ago).  We'll find out tomorrow if it had any ( Read more... )
