How far did you ride today?

[Jane Honda]

I figured we could all out our distances and times here. Kind of like motivation, at least it is for me.

Today, I went home for lunch, and rode 10.26 miles in 1:00.57, with just two quick breaks long enough to swig a couple long gulps of H2O. I use my HTC Evo phone with an EveryTrail app that uses a GPS.

This is my second time at this distance, the first time I went from 8.92 miles to 10.28, and it took me two days to recoup.(migraine) I've only been biking for two and a half weeks.

This is my second ride in two days after two months off of the bike because of life issues. I am exploring the ways in and out of the new neighborhood although I am familiar with a lot of the routes once I get about 5 miles out. I took a wrong turn on the way out and didn't manage to find the one end of Katy Fulshear road, so I went to where it came out on a major highway and tried the reverse on the way home. Good plan except that after a couple of miles it turned into gravel. I played little engine that could for about a mile and then decided I would play little engine who couldn't and go back the way I came before I fell and gave myself terminal road rash.

Today's stats 24 miles in 1:30. Not specatcular distance for me but a good break in ride considering that the feels like temp was 108 and the humidity is in the 80%. I love leaving puddles on the floor as I walk around the garage prepping my bike for the next ride.

Got lucky today. There were thunderstorms off and on all day today. However, the weather cleared up just in time for the shop ride. Got in 25 recovery paced miles which is just what the doctor ordered for today. Great ride!

I went mountain biking, about 9.4 miles of singletrack. See that makes your number look just fine.

zero... it was 101 degrees at 6 pm...too hot for me

My bike's at the shop. I went on a six-mile walk yesterday, but it's been really hot and humid of late. Luckily, it's raining, and I should hopefully have my bike back in a few days.

I logged in 10.77 miles in 1:09.46. I only took two very two gulps worth breaks.

27 very hilly miles... 2 hr 10min.

170 miles of a double century I really had no business riding because I haven't done one in 3 years and am (for me) pretty out of shape. I had a few of the usual low moments, but it was fun and I was able to help a friend get her CA Triple Crown (3 doubles in a year).

I don't know how long it took me other than "too long".

Considering I am really only riding once a week right now I am happy with my ride. Did a training ride with my IM gal friend who is a rocket. We did 30 miles in 1:45 minutes with four big bridges. Super hot but a nice breeze. I'll take it.

Which part did you leave out?

Which part do YOU think??

My knees and right hip were screaming at mile 100 (which was weird and I would think new bike fit, but we did much harder and longer rides than that 100 miles in DR training so who knows.). We are leaving for a week long backpacking trip tomorrow and I did not want to kill my legs for some foolish double I am unprepared for, so I told my friend who I was helping get her triple crown (that ride was her third) to go ahead, and then met her after SHE did that lovely Bay Hill/Coleman loop and pulled her the last 50 miles. She got her TC and I had a good day on the bike and saw a LOT of friends.
