My Cycling Log (miles)
Man it has been a while since I have posted my ride stats, a lot has happened in that time. For one Tour Gal (My Wife) actually decided to pick up a road bike and we have been out about three or four times. Amanda has been working out at home for about three or […]
Several days ago I was able to get out on possibly the best day for far this year for cycling Minnesota. The whether was simply amazing with warm tempatures (but it was not too hot) hardly any breeze at all and it was not too humid! It was a great day and I was smiles […]
Two additional rides to post (for my own cycling log), on Wednesday I went out for a solo ride through Wayzata and into the Long Lake area. Very windy day and I almost skipped the ride, however once I got out on my bike I felt great and the wind was not too bad (although […]
What a fantastic day for a great little ride, I decided to get a late start today and enjoy some afternoon sun and warm weather. It was just what I was hoping for minus the traffic, the lilacs were in bloom and smelled sweat, as were the crab apple trees as the sun beat down […]
The weather here in Minnesota has been just crap over the last few weeks, I mean it’s not snowing so I am thankful for that but we have had so much rain and cool weather that it has slowed my cycling training a bit. Today however the training program continued with just a great day […]
Managed to sneak out today around noon before the clouds could screw up such a great day. Went out with my neighbor again, the plan was to head down the Minnesota river valley for a could of serious climbs. However once we got about 12 or 13 miles into the ride we decided to skip […]
Today was the first day I managed to get on my bike since the weekend (I am fairly sure I missed posting one ride last week) so I was due to get some exercise. I was able to ride with my Neighbour who is a fairly fit guy and recently took up biking after knee […]
Was able to get in a quick afternoon ride yesterday, while it was not as warm as it has been I was still able to wear shorts instead of tights (that is always nice in April in Minnesota). Each time I post to my “journal” I am able to note down my stats from ride. […]
Another fantastic ride today, the funny thing … I felt pretty darn good. What is interesting about feeling good when your exercising is that your still are breathing at a fair rate but it just does not feel so dam hard (my view point anyway).
Today was the very warm again and I thought it was […]
Hit the streets again today and enjoyed some fresh air away from the office. Their was a slight breeze and the tempatures was about 72 degrees. I still hurt a bit as I am riding, my goal is to ride easy 10 miles or so for two weeks or so (4 to 5 times a […]
What a great day for a ride! Felt much better than I did yesterday and cruised a quick 11 miles in just under an hour. I would like to shout out a thank to the folks at Tonka cycle for adjusting my derailleur on the spot and not even charging me! Today I rode out […]
Yesterday as mentioned was my first ride of the season and while it was good to get on my bike it was a bit brisk. Today (Monday) it is suppose to make it into the mid 70’s and I should be on my bike in several hours to soak up some of the sun!
These fist […]
Today I managed to get back out on my bike again and enjoyed a easy 13.2 mile “cruise” through Minnetonka as I weaved through some of the neighborhoods around my area. It was all quite lovely until I started to notice the dreaded loose gravel that seams to have already haunted me. I was just […]
Today I rode within myself (as the racers say) and felt good, I rode 23 miles and felt a bit tired at the end but all in all it was a good distance.
Miles: 23
Average Speed: 13.9
Miles For July: 73
Total Miles 2005: 73
Time: Not sure
Path: Went around lower lake Minnetonka and ran into some expected traffic […]
So about two weeks ago I went out and purchased a new Trek road bike and have enjoyed being back in the saddle again, although it has hurt quite a bit. I am not sure why after such pain I would get excited about riding just a day or two later but that has been […]
