Weekend Rides!

[Catrin]

No riding today, trying to listen to my legs...but did go for a nice walk in Eagle Creek Park with a friend and her dog. It was nice. Saw so many cyclists out there that it made me want to ignore my legs and go out anyway...but I am not. It is barely the beginning of the season, if I want to finish strong in November then I need better habits now

only 9 miles for me. Checked out new farmer's market then went to Supermarket to get what i needed. Up and down hills. Tailwinds and headwinds... Go for it you guys!

our weather is warmer and dryer but not warm or dry to quote one of my favorite bike bloggers: http://kentsbike.blogspot.com/

We have had a beautiful weekend in central Florida and I was able to ride Friday, Saturday and today. Today was a dear friend's 57th birthday so we rode his favorite route and I got in 68 miles. Birthday cake at the end of the ride was just a nice bonus.

Fabulous sunny day in the UK today, think it hit 66 degrees here in the south.

Still getting my confidence, energy and stamina back but had a lovely ride along the sea front, weaving in and out of the 'grockels'.

For me it was a milestone, 11 miles but I totally hit the wall but like anything else, as soon as you get home you only remember the good bits.

Oh yes, the reason for sitting down am currently limping about with a broken little toe! Yes, it hurts lots.

Nice report, clock. Glad you're back on the bike!

I did my Ocean Drive loop yesterday. Calm winds and sunny. I'm getting spoiled. Took a rest day today, and the wind and commute returns tomorrow. Possible rain. Not sure what bike to ride. Oh, to have my problems. Poor me.

Yesterday was a cold, windy and rainy day for April in Tucson- the high was in the 40's! So my only weekend ride was today. It was cool and windy- mid-50's with a steady breeze and gusts to 25 or so, but I planned the ride to take advantage of tailwinds on the way home. 33.5 by the end of the ride. I just did a ride along edge of the foothills.

It will be back into the 70's and 80's for the rest of the week, and just get warmer from there!

Did my first Sunday ride with the LBS in a loooong time. I met the owner early so he could swap cassettes from my old wheels to new wheels I was demo'ing - with the idea of buying - on my old Seven to turn it into my dedicated retro-race bike for du's and tri's (next up is re-doing the front end with new bars and stem). These wheels - Dura Ace hybrid carbon/alloy weigh in at just 1380g/pair and are da BOMB! They roll so smooth and nice and feel so great. I may end up putting them on my ID8.

After that, I met two friends of mine and we started with the main group with the intent of doing the "C-ride" - that is...hang with the group as long as we can, because we'd like to start building up intensity, but it's still early in the season for us, and don't sweat it when we get dropped and then do our own thing and have a good time while we're at it. So we stuck by that rule, and 6 of us ultimately did that kind of ride, having a grand-old time in the process.

I forgot my Garmin at home (D'oh!), and DH recommended I download "My Tracks" - a free Android App - to my phone and use that. So I did, and used my phone to track my ride and then emailed myself the TCX file, which I then uploaded to BikeJournal, Training Center, Garmin Connect, and all of the other mind-bending ways I track my rides and workouts! (Whew!). A very high-tech crash course this morning.

Hello! After a big week of training leading into my next ironman up in Asheville, NC, I topped it off with a century on Sunday. I did the Cheaha Challenge Century in Alabama, and it was fantastic! Great support, excellent climb, beautiful weather! I would recommend that ride to anyone!

I too, stopped for a picture!

I drove up Cheaha a few times. Congrats if you rode it!

For others, Cheaha is the highest point in Alabama.

I have never been and never will, be an athlete of any description BUT I do love seeing photos of people like you, just to embarrass you, you look stunning and I love the bike too.

Phew, just looked at your blog and was wondering if you actually took any time out to breathe when you had your week in Asheville.
