Down with "Purists"!

Hey watch it. I AM actually one of those. Because it's MY journal and that's the way I want it to be.

What you do in your journal is your business.

LOL - Im an outdoor purist too. A little birdy told me you need a trainer to log trainer miles so that might have something to do with it.

(trainers and pain seem to go together Im all for avoiding pain)

Funny I was just thinking about this, sort of.

If I keep my HR on an outdoor ride as high as I do on the trainer, I average about two mph faster on the outdoor ride than I do on the trainer and I'm riding similar gears.

To me, they are just different species.

I do wish more of us had our journals available to see on BJ. I enjoy stalking. Sometimes I get trapped at my computer by my cat. It's either stalk people's journals or look for stolen goods on Craig's list. Jo's journals are pretty good.

Hmm I dont like the idea of just anyone knowing where Im riding as I do all my riding near home alone. I guess I could leave route info out so then it wouldnt be an issue or put it in some kind of code that only means something to me. LOL - I love Jo's journal Im afraid mine would look very boring compared to Jo's, mine is pretty basic.

[Veronica]

Yeah, that can be worrisome. I tend to abbeviate my routes because I'm lazy .

But I also figure the chance of someone reading my journal and then coming after me is pretty small.

LOL - true and in your case your pretty zippy so they would have to be moving pretty fast.......now in my case...

You're a sandbagger.

I'm sorry, I was trying to be cute. What I really meant is that no one should tell someone else what is right in this regard.

[Veronica]

No apology needed.

V.

Geez... I could have 50 more miles if I counted my trainer time.

I usually only get outdoor riding time on the weekend. Lately, it's been the pits. If it wasn't for indoor miles I'd only have about 25 miles for 2007. Even trainer riding is better than no riding at all.

I WAS a purist until the snow and ice came and I couldn't include any of the trainer miles I had been doing. So I will count them until the snow is gone.
