I rode a total of 78 miles this weekend 36 yesterday and 42 today all at above my typical speed so I guess the extra time doing both speed and resistance intervals on the elliptical trainer while my 90 year old resident FIL works with a trainer is paying off.

yay for me and increasing speed, it's been a long time since I have seen the speed bump up.

Of course, not having done a really hammering back to back in about 6 months has me pretty much wiped out tonight but it sure felt good. I just need to juggle the schedule around or start riding in the afternoons after a trainer session, which I could do now that it is cooler, or make a concentrated point of working in two rides each weekend.

oh the possibilities

The weather has been cool and dry, unfortunately the winds have switched to coming off the gulf so the humidity is back but at least the temps seem to holding themselves down to the mid 80's and we do need rain.
