June 14th rides

[laura jane]

Well MY average climbing some hills today was 6mph Look out, coming through!

[Aggie_Ama]

15 miles on a blazing road. And I went at lightning fast 13.9 mph average. It is 100 degrees today, wahhhh.

[Fredwina]

I took the scenic route to church 20 miles, 1500 feet of climbing We've still got "June Gloom", so no pics

Tried out part of a new route segment added onto one I've ridden before. The addition was hillier and furthest point out from start. Wondered how that would go lol. Ended up going pretty well.

34miles total. The whole loop is 40mi. Wanted to do that. But, was "good" and decided to stick with the TE advice of adding my miles on more gradual. Good advice (as always)...

My quads are sore from climbing. A bit tired. But not totally spent. Good compromise.

Good ride on a beautiful sunny day!

Hill workout with DH. Speed is coming up with less downshifting and a few sprints. I got cocky and let him add on a few miles--hint, when you hit 30 mph going downhill it won't be fun on the way back up. At one point, speed was 0 mph (stopped on the side of the road--threatened to throw up Mountain Dew on him--he laughed--and backed up).

I sometimes go 2.5 to 3 mph uphill...which is just on the verge of falling over.
No, I was talking 9.53 overall average, including all rides- like for the year, not just for uphills.

Distance 0 miles, average speed 0 mph.

Gave myself a rest day after feeling stiff and off this morning.

[Crankin]

Me too.
Bagged the 50 mile charity ride (we were going to sign up at the start) and stayed in bed on a nice rainy morning. I'm a little under the weather. I also bagged a 5k run my friend was in charge of at the local hospital.

I can't remember the last time I did nothing all day, not even a walk.

Doing nothing is underrated.

Jobob: Nice to see you biking again - even on the trainer! Good work. How is it feeling?

[jobob]

Thanks! I'm feeling not too shabby on the trainer. I'm still wearing my back brace -- coined The Clamshell (or the Turtle Shell) by some dear friends -- so all I'm doing on the trainer is moderate-intensity spinning, not too easy & not too hard, and I need to sit fairly straight up since the brace kind of restricts my mobility (well, duh). It's more to keep my butt and legs functioning.

I can take the Clamshell off for good on June 29 or thereabouts -- nooo, I'm not counting the days I can't wear a hrm under it, or stand very well on the bike, so it's not really worth pulling out Coach Troy yet. Hoo boy, it's boring though. So I watch whatever is on Universal Sports network to keep the boredom at bay, the other day it was the Kona Iroman triathalon and today it was beach volleyball.

I'd much rather be riding outside though - which will be early in July methinks.
