man, i need to ride with you!Originally Posted by Mr. Silver
I did 40 miles today...according to my Garmin, I averaged 27.7mph and burned 65,287 calories (Yes, I burned 22 pounds on this ride!) I am feeling svelte and dropped two sized in blue jeans.
It's a shame that the Garmin clearly burped (for the first time) and powered down at a bump clearly distorting the results.
According to my riding buddy, we averaged 17.7mph

I'm in Emerald Ilse, North Carolina for the week and today DH and I took my dad's hybrids (the one I rode is ancient
) down the local bike path for about 15 miles. He rides slow. My heart rate never got above 115. But the beach and the people and the just being out with DH made it one of the best rides I've done to date. It's fun to ride just for the sheer joy of riding and not for time, distance or speed.
Nice way to bring in my 45th birthday!!

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!

I did a brick workout this morning--rode 16 miles and then ran 4. Not the funnest experience due to the insane humidity, but I stayed strong throughout. I averaged 22 mph, and completed my run in 31 minutes.
I think I'll be glad to just cycle tomorrow As much as I love running, I've really enjoyed cycling so much more lately.
