May 30th Ride Reports

I didn't ride my bike, but I cleaned my chain. Can I log the backwards-spinning-thru-the-Cyclone miles on BikeJournal?

That is awesome the sun was shining up in the Pacific Northwest today! Perhaps I really can move there after all.

Having had an awful last week that has spilled over to this week, I decided to go on a quick ride after running errands and before the sun set cause riding always makes me feel better. In the spirit of trying not being a complete hill slug on my 40 mile ride this coming weekend, I did 5 miles of small hill sprints. Nothing like that climbing burn.

Nice day today, but it's suppose to get darn right evil this weekend! 110+!
Had a nice road ride this evening. I had lots of spunk tonight and it was fun. Just my usual cruise in the hood. I only have just over an hour b4 the sun sets and the bike must be back home, so I made the best of it. I have a nice new stretch of pavement, so I'm stoked for that. I was thinking as I was riding that I wasn't working hard enough because I wasn't sweating.. So I did the arm lick test. Ahh yes indeed.. I was one salty dog!
It's the one thing about being a desert dweller. Sweat bursts into flames when it hits the surface of the skin!!
Anyhoo 16.7 miles in 1:04. SWEET!
Yesterday was a mtb ride in the am w/ the boys. And then in the evening a 3.5 mile run around the lake where I met the boys for a game of tennis. I then spent another 45 minutes running around the tennis court getting good and sweaty! Big sweaty fun!!

Glad everyone got rides in today! I got a 19.1 mile ride in today...in 1:31...dunno if that's great or not, but it was faster than I usually do! So, I'm chalking it up to awesome.

Didn't almost die on the hills! Charged head on. Course these are not so huge hills, but usually slow me down alot! I'm feeling so much stronger and loving it!
