Did a quick 25 with 1500’. Finally starting to feel like I am getting my legs since I am clobbering my previous PRs.
Just scored a brand new Wahoo Kicker still in the box from a neighbor for 1/2 price so next Spring I should be much farther/further ahead, but I will take what I can get for now. |
11-spot. my most unmotivated ride that i can remember-ever. need to ground truth some unfamiliar roads-soon.

I hate you all.
I felt pretty proud that I managed to squeeze in a lap of my Short Loop (about 11 miles) three days in a row and today, found time to do almost 18 miles on some other roads. I felt really good .... and then I read this thread. ;) |
75 Miles O.D.

Hmm, how is doing 40 miles in 2.4 hours on a weekend, or 23 miles in 1.5 hours on a weeknight, pedaling all day? :foo: Some people are more determined to ride their bikes than others even if it means riding at 9 pm or getting up at 4 am to get in a spin before work.
I am definitely not a 4 am person (do have friends though) but as my entire adulthood, I'd get in my workouts late night after the kids were put to bed. If there is a will, there is a way. :thumb: |
So folks may be empty nesters, don't get off into multiple hobbies, have four seasons & only ride 1.5 of those 4. If casting judgement is what makes others tick, then who am I to judge?

Meh! Some people are unhappy with their shortcomings so they need to find a reason to criticize others. As you can see, inaccurate statements here lead to some guy trying to discredit my comments to cover his own deficiencies. :innocent:
I post a lot of 40.50 weekend rides, some midweek 23's as most, but still trying to figure out who the poster was talking about, 150 miles 3 or 4 times per week that "lots of guys do" when I can't find any in the recent month in this thread. Sounds to me like a lack of comprehension. hmmm I think I now have a personal goal. Toughest part is having mother nature not give birth to childish weather! |
The miles are much longer when on the trainer. I wish I could have that weather, but it's not in the cards to move anytime soon. Taking care of two handicapped elderly requires a lot of drive*. Especially when there income doesn't even cover the health expenses fully.

15 miles, 800+ elevation gain.

I'm not referring to 2.4hrs a day everybody does thats nothing to shout about. I'm referring to 150 miles 3 or 4 times a week seems like a lot of guys do it and they don't do it after the kids go to bed.

Did a 50 spot with 2700’ climbing and my ancient legs are toast
One short climb was at 12% and then insulted me further going to 16%. Dont know how the pros can sustain on those type of climbs. Brutal |
