Weekday Rides

[WindingRoad]

Short ride today between class and next study block. I did 20 miles and I averaged 17 MPH. The road bike is ruining me, don't know if I'll want to get back on my commuter bike now Honestly, I love my commuter bike. In fact it may be my favorite, shhhhhhhhh.

Woo Woo temps in the mid 50s today!!!! Bundled up and went for ride. So excited to be out in the SUNSHINE that I forgot to reset my computer. Don't know how far or how fast I went (kinda nice). Rode fairly hard for about an hour then stopped at DH's high school baseball practice. Sat and watched them for too long, but boy did that sun coming through all my warm gear feel good. And the boys were having so much fun out in the nice weather, it was nice to watch them.

Sunday we climb 69 flights of stairs in Seattle at the Columbia Tower. It is a Lymphoma fundraiser. We will ride together tomorrow, but probably only about 20 miles.

Sunshine: good! No rain: good!

I-want-to-ride-today...temps are a bit cooler and less sun and a break in the rain until mid-late afternoon. However....in the last 4 days in a row I've either ridden or done a hard workout of one kind or another. My legs are basically ok this morning but I know they need a break and tomorrow will be warmer and sunnier - but busier so it will be harder to fit in. I suspect that I can mange it though My legs will appreciate a day's break...

TIS.
Was able to get two weekday rides in this week. 90 minutes each. Two big hills. Hope to keep it up. Spring has sprung.

We've had record high temps for March. (Where was I stuck for the best days? At work, of course.)

Undaunted, this morning I assembled my gear, pumped up the tires of the Aurora and finally set out on my first ride of the season. I love this bike; there is nothing like steel for a smooth ride! (When I started bicycling again a few years ago, I thought I'd want a carbon bike in the future. Instead, a custom steel bike is now on my bucket list.)

It was a bit chillier than I would have liked, but I had a modest goal of 5-7 miles for my outing. Several small hills, a couple of sprints here and there...some scenic pedaling... Eight miles later, it felt like I hadn't stopped riding over the winter.

Tomorrow-when my middle-aged joints are creaking in protest-it may be a different story.

Days off are good.
Wednesday I didn't feel like riding (shoulder issue plus cold/pollen), Thursday I had the same problem, Friday I had errands to run, today was shot. I'm riding tomorrow afternoon to check out the changes from the fitting, provided it doesn't rain...and maybe I'll sneak one in Monday morning. Okay, that may be a bit far-fetched, knowing me, but it can't hurt to try...
