July 16th weekend rides

[Catrin]

It looks like we haven't started one yet so I will

Friday - 22 miles in my favorite park, and today I rode 30 miles on country roads. Too much other stuff going on to get in a good long ride, but I will take 52 miles in two days Tomorrow morning will head out early to play on the mountain bike and do some drills before it gets too hot - if there is time I may switch bikes & get in another 20-30 road miles as well. Or not, I try not to ride more than 3 days in a row without taking a rest day.

I did 17 miles on Thursday (does that count?). Tomorrow I'm going to try to do 20 or so if I'm feeling up to riding. (I'm really tired, for some reason.) Next week I won't be able to ride much for various reasons, but maybe I can tootle around the neighborhood a bit before it gets too hot, or in the evenings.

Well my bike computer is on the fritz and I'm waiting for a refurb from Garmin. I meant to bring my GPS watch but forgot it. So my ride today didn't really happen. (Okay it did, sort of, but only in the cloud - I tracked it on my phone with iMapMyRide+, but you can't download that data to another fitness app. )

85 for me today..... So sun burned! Sweat all my sunscreen off.

All rides count. Seriously, most of my weekday and some weekend rides are like 15-20 miles.
Friday I rode 16 miles, including a stop to hit up the LBS for a donation of 2 helmets for one of my clients. Yeah, they did it with a smile (it got back to me that someone there read what I wrote here about my bad fitting experience and they figured out who the actual writer was ). I did the loop around Hanscom AFB, which I don't do too often. Yesterday DH and I rode about 20 miles, just around Concord, Carlisle, and Bedford. I couldn't go out until 3:00 and it felt hotter than hell, although it was only 84. What started out as a slow ride, on purpose, became a faster ride, with me hitting a pb on the hill going up by Sleepy Hollow Cemetery (16 mph). It's just a little hill, but I used to have to use my granny gear on this hill.
Today we are driving up to the north shore and going on a beach ride, with a swim stop.

I meant "does it count as a weekend ride if it was Thursday and I haven't mentioned it?"

No riding for me today. The word "disgusting" doesn't begin to describe it. The humidity is ridiculous. Between that and the fact that my body very much wants me to go back to bed, I'm not sure I want to go out. Tootling it is.

15 miles on Saturday morning. Cut it short because of the weather plus I wanted to watch the end of the Tour stage.

32 miles on Sunday--felt pretty good. It's just so hot outside and I haven't been able to ride as much with my kids being out of school and all. One more month, and they'll be back in school then I will FINALLY have my mornings back.
