June 14th rides

[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.
