Rides - September 11th, Monday

[Cassandra_Cain]

what was your final stretch CC?? We can check the bike map and see if there's a bike path nearby. Also: what time are you leaving work??........wanna head my way and pick me up on your way home?

Hey C-Mac

That last bit was on San Antonio, west past I-25, across jefferson before I got into the journal center. I had a good plan but the last part of the bike path between San Pedro/San Antonio & I-25/San Antonio is closed. Next time I'll probably opt for catching the diversion channel and riding up the back to the center.

Sure we can meet up on the way back - where will you be exactly and what time? I'm living on central & tramway now, so I'll definitely be headed your way on my commute home.

I'll probably leave here around 4:30 or so.

My husband and I both work at home in separate offices. At 4:30 today I heard him call from downstairs: "Come on, SADDLE UP!!!" What a guy!

We jumped on our bikes and did an hour and forty minutes very lovely country ride. It just doesn't get any better than that for me.

The commute today, as per usual. B U T, this time I stayed in the big ring all the way to work! Zooom!

Breezy and cool, with a fabulous beach-smell and you could see the ferry coming in as I whooshed through town.

32 minutes of single track on our acreage after work. Not very long, but I crashed trying to work on slow-speed tight turns (for some reason tight left-hand turns give me much more difficulty than right-hand turns, so I was working on those). I didn't hurt myself too bad, but will have a new crop of bruises. I decided to quit while I was ahead.

On a more positive note, I felt strong the entire time, climbed well, my breathing was great. I started Advair a couple of weeks ago, and I think it's really helping. I am not huffing and puffing so much, and my HR is lower than before on these same trails and with the same effort level. Fun!

I also got to try out my new Cateye Mity 8 computer - it rocks! I averaged 6 mph for the ride, including some slow-speed maneuvers and my fall, so not too bad.
