Monday, May 31st rides

I did my own duathlon. I ran 2 miles, biked 15 miles and ran 2 miles.
This was the first time I have ever done this. I wasn't planning on it. It was just so pretty this morning, that I decided to try it.
I did it in 1 hr 48 min. I am 51 years old, I don't know if that is a really slow time or not.

I rode 45 miles with some friends this morning. It was nice to get out before the afternoon thunder showers threatened.

I got in 26 miles before the tourists got on the roads. It's crazy here! Glad they're coming, for the economy's sake, but what a difference in traffic!

Sweet ride, though. Perfect weather, felt great.

My quads were talking to me after riding the last 4 days in a row - but it is just so beautiful today! So I took my bike to the park and had an easy 10 mile spin at a little lower speed than normal. The temps are a little lower today, and the humidity much lower - very pleasant afternoon indeed! My legs are feeling better than they were before, so it was the right choice.

It's our wedding anniversary today, and going on a long bike ride was a perfect way to celebrate. Our bike club put on a ride today, it was out-n-back so you could choose any distance and we chose the metric century. It was a beautiful day, mostly overcast, not too hot, and a flat route.

My legs felt very, very sluggish starting out. Luckily I was able to draft off a tandem for a while until my legs decided to wake up. Then we found another couple riding at about our pace, so we did the rest of the ride with them and it worked out very nicely.

I kind of ran out of gas with a few miles to go. Gotta work on that hydration/nutrition thing. But even though I feel pretty pooped, it was a very nice ride. Now hopefully we can stay awake through our anniversary dinner tonight!

Just a little 12 mile errand trip. I DID carry back 60 lbs of groceries, though!!

The threat of rain hung in the air here earlier today but I decided to take a chance and ride. It was a wise decision as the rain never materialized. I rode some of my favorite roads, discovered a new road and revisited some that I had not been on for several months. Traffic was extremely low out in the country today so I basically had the roads to myself and I had a blast. I logged 37.5 miles today. It was a great day to ride - sun and clouds, warm temps, reasonable humidity and a wonderful tailwind that became a wicked headwind later in the day.
