First ride in a month
First ride in about a month. Hot but overcast day so not so bad. Good time to start Fall training. First 30 minutes
took it easy felt stiff let the old bones loosen up. I needed some WD 40. Then it was great didn’t feel like I missed any time off. Ending up with 21 miles 1:45. So I’m happy with that for a start. The heat isn’t done yet so morning rides until we get a break from this heat. |
Once you become a cyclist, you will forever be.

Why the lay-off? I must have missed something.

Too much physical work to catch up on plus a swollen knee that just healed. 100+ weather doldrums. Late summer depression or I should say blues which is common here. Was a little burned out but I’m all enthusiastic again about riding my bikes.

Glad to hear you still look forward to riding. |
27 miles this morning before the heat set in. Definitely back into it again. Those endorphins providing that natural high is what I need.

My days off from work are filled with working on house repairs, car repairs, etc. Saturday was 8 hours outside doing repairs and Sunday was a repeat. At least Sunday I hopped on the bike to let the air cool me off with my sweat soaked clothes. That makes for only 2 short rides in the last 7 days, though. My left knee seems to be improving, too. Just in time for cooling weather! :) |
