Saturday -- Today was a wild and woolly day. Very windy and rainy and not particularly warm.

So we went to the gym for the first time since before Rowan's accident!

Rowan walked for half an hour which was pretty good.

I ran for an hour. I've been running outside so I wanted to see how I would go inside. I can get into quite a comfortable zone on a treadmill. I covered 7.66 km in that time, so I'm not overly fast.


When we got home, I hopped on my trainer and did a bit with Zwift's new NYC route.

November 2: Still going, still on the fair-weather road bike

Country loop, followed by a couple short and steep climbs at the edge of town at sunset. The temperature held at 41F on the ridge, and I was too stubborn to stop and put on a wind breaker - with just a wool shirt and summer jersey, it got a bit chilly! The corn and leaves are almost all down now, making for some lovely views.

33 miles, 1,581'. Here's the Lutheran church where I finally stopped to dress properly.

Having been riding much lately so today was a good day. Clydesdale ride, 50 miles at 18.1 MPH average speed.

Yesterday was my first club run in a few weeks, and I stepped up to take on "Last man" duties with another club member for the first time. The temperatures rose a bit, and for the first time all week, we were above freezing with no frost, so the bib tights went away and leg warmers came back out. Really lovely ride at a sociable pace, with a few club members tackling the full route for the first time, so lots of words of encouragement in between the swearing on the major climb.

I rode to Mount Lofty up Norton Summit Rd. then back down Montacute Rd. that Cadel Evans stormed to a stage victory on but abandoned the hybrid for a roadbike. Climbing was so much easier

Some world tour riders are already here training. I was gasping up a hill and they casually rode past like I was standing still chatting away as easy as going down hill

Happy back to STANDARD TIME all.

To celebrate 5 years ago yesterday as a then 63 year old newbie geezer being here ....... ..... and joined by almost 2,500 other crazy individuals, I ventured outside into 12/15mph winds for a 112 mile ride. While my completion of the 112 miles was gratifying, the fact that it took 7:32:33 of actual pedaling time and not the 5:52:36 even after a 2.4 mile swim in the Gulf of Mexico with a marathon to follow, is rather depressing.

Good luck to all of the athletes in today's relocated Ironman Florida being held in Haines City instead of Hurricane Michael hit Panama City Beach.

Sat: CX again. despite being in a slight pile up at the start I managed to claw back 25th out of 84 guys. Rained all friday night and into sat. morning that made the course pretty muddy and very different from last year. Luckily my Clement BOS tires have knobs like a tractor and dug into it on the climbs. picture is of the big climb on course, only got to ride it twice because the first 3 laps people failed in front of me and we all had to run. Will be glad to upgrade to cat 4 next year. Still a super fun race and the hill has a great following of cheering people, even people who aren't racing come out for the party atmosphere and costumes.

CX bike on fire roads- up the mountain.

No pics, I think the pocket camera died from sweat.

We had a cool front move through on Friday. It produced some violent weather that downed trees and limbs. However, it did turn cool for Saturday. I rode up the Courtney Campbell trail and over to Phillippe Park where I had to dodge some downed tree limbs and branches. Perfect cycling weather, low 60's to 70's and partly cloudy. Windy though. My legs were sore when I finished my 41 miles. Sunday the cool front returned as a warm front. It was a grey, cloudy, muggy and warm. Went out to Thonotosassa for 40 miles.

Life's been getting in the way too much lately.

Saturday - Got out for a 27 mile test run on a mid 80's Ciocc Designer 84 I had picked up the night before. Cold and windy but still fun to be out and riding again. Bike work ok except for having pretty much no brakes.
