I really like the softness of that image thekarens!!! Catrin....it's moments of zen for me when cleaning or working on my bike

Did a pilates class at 6:00am, worked for a few hours at home and then took a leisurely ride south on the beach bike path to Manhattan Beach. There are a series of steep streets coming down to the beach in MB. They make for a hard climbing workout! Riding on to Redondo Beach for some volleyball with friends, some sushi after and a leisurely ride home to later attend my small group ministry meeting. Good Sunday mix of exercise, friends, fun, good food, faith and getting some work done.


didn't take any cameras today but this is an earlier image i took of the beach bike path

Biggest mileage week of the year for me last week - just over 200. Had some warm-ish weather that meant some nice solid after work riding during the week, and a stellar ride on Saturday (finally no jacket/vest or winter booties!). Did a 63 mile tour of most of the same towns as Crankin and her DH (whom I saw out in the wilds of Stowe). Rode with a new riding partner from the local popular cycling cafe, Ride Studio Cafe. It's amazing we've never ridden prior to this, but we are now going to be teammates for an east coast version of the Rapha Prestige race, so it was nice to finally meet her, and know that we can ride compatibly over a long distance.

Yesterday was another story - the rain had started, and temps were only in the upper 30s. After an hour and a half of riding, I was frozen, and reasonably miserable. We did, however, continue the 2014 tradition of no indoor riding

I checked my mileage/hours ridden so far for this year vs. last. With all the fat bike riding, my distance totals are down, but my hours are up!
