Ride Report June 14

[Crankin]

Wow, I'm first today... went out at 5:05 AM. First I ran into a wild turkey going down my hill! There's a flock of about 30 that live in my neighborhood, but it was a little weird to see it run across the road. I love going out early in the morning. Rode down behind the Old North Bridge and around my usual loop, but in the opposite direction, since there was no nasty after work traffic. The air was really clear and there was a slight mist hanging above the fields and farms. Saw lots of jack rabbits too.
15.2 miles in 59 minutes. I only saw one other cyclist, when I almost was home.

The 170 mm cranks on my new bike have to go!!

Robyn,
Are the 170's too big or too small? Just curious...

More exploring today. Did 27 miles before I ran out of time and had to come back. My legs felt like garbage. Must be the lack of sleep combined with running around all day with the kids at camp. Had a deer decide to cross the road in front of me. Why do they always stop and look at you?

No ride today courtesy of Tropical Storm Alberto. I'm going to head to the gym and do legs and cardio.

[Duck on Wheels]

Just a quickie today -- to the gym for spin class, then home again. On the way home it rained, which shouldn't bother a duck like me but I did worry about RubySlipperz. Remembered to keep feathering the brakes to keep them dry, remembered to avoid wet manhole covers, and made it home fine. Now Ruby is drying off in her personal parking space in the kitchen while I wait for my french toast slices to soak. Spin class was fun, as usual. Today's surprise was when we "saw somebody up the road who'd had a flat". One guy was volunteered to fix the flat while the rest of us waited, but to keep our hr's up, we had to do squats for about 5 minutes. Of course the "volunteer" was doing them too, but that was to work the pump fixing that flat. Otherwise a moderate intensity endurance session, 75 minutes. Also did my core series for warmups before class.
