Yep. That second one was a catastrophic tube failure. Tossed me off the bike. Banged up and bloody, but everything still moves OK.

5 laps of the circuit and then a climb of almost 900’ in 1 mile

88.95 miles.

33 with 1600’ at 15 MPH ave. Very windy which made things interesting. Rode my higher geared bike which kicked my @$$ when the grade stayed between 10 and 14% on the 2.3 mile climb. Finished up at a beautiful lake.

Just the four mile commute today, and on the eBike at that; I don’t like arriving sweaty.

probably the same tomorrow, then my clubs annual ride Saturday. I’ll do just the 26 miler, as I need some energy for the rest of the day.

88 miles. Last few miles of rotor rubbing the "retention" spring. Fml.

How long does it take you to complete your typical century? “Inquiring minds want to no.”

A whopping 23 miles with 1500’ at 16.5 MPH ave. Got two 1sts in the geezer class. Rode this today:

thats a moving target. could be 4.5hrs could take the better part of a day. I was surprised to see so many folks out doing their thang, when typically it's only a handful of us humps out there.

4.5 is quick. The better part of the day, makes up for your quickness. 😊

if I'm feeling like a million bucks & the environment conditions are on par, it can go quick. Otherwise, I'm a sack ole pennies & chipping from the sandbox.

A whole 29 &.... rain.

51 miles on the usual route- Pumpkin Vine Trail.

Not even worth pulling on your shorts for that. But are glad you did.

Spent the day at the ER with my wife who had a bike accident two days ago who suddenly experienced shortness of breath and dizziness. Ran her through the mill (blood tests, X-rays, CT scan, etc) and checked her road rash and determined it was a minor concussion and bruised rib and she just needs to take it easy and off the bike. This will be no easy feat for Mrs. Never Underdoit.

I got a rest day as a result and an intact spouse

the law makes be keep pulling them on. ;D

104 miles, at a fun and very well organized gran fondo. This was my longest ride in quite a while.

Bummer, I understand the feeling when I got tripped up by my dog and I bashed my head on the door frame. It took at good couple of days for everything to sort of appear and I felt like crap for a week. The dizziness was the worse and it felt like I was sea sick for 5 days. I spent 9 months on a carrier and never got sick once, but bash your head on a door frame and it shows up. I kept getting light head whenever I raised my heart rate, so rest is the correct thing to do. I also head to turn down my monitors and sat in my pain cave home office with no lights on while I was working. The screen monitors really gave me a headache.

I went out for 80 today, but one of my riding partners got taken out by a suicidal squirrel that came for me first, decided nope, lets go the other way, then changed course again and tired to run between us, but hit his front wheel. Luckily no one was hurt, the fuzzy rat ran up the tree, his bike just suffered some abrasions on the hood covers, and he had some scrapes on his elbow, side of the knee. So we headed home after that. I ended up with 37 outside, decided to ride the trainer and did 20 inside, then mowed the grass when the rain past us by around 7 pm as we were getting some cool winds from the storm that dumped about 2 inches of rain about a mile down the road in about 25 mins.

57 miles, soaked.

fat, old and slow and fueled by warm beer and an over ripe banana...58F at the start and 86F by the end.

115 miles

10 Miles this morning. That is about my limit at the moment.

A very long 15 hr day of programming, needed to decompress, so I did 25 miles with 1.5k of climbing inside while watching the Tour coverage. Going to have another long day tomorrow so already picked out a route to do, might hurt\kill me, but going to give Col du Tourmalet on Rouvy a go. 7% avg and 4400 ft of incline. :injured:. Figured since it was Tour de France time, I would ride some of the Tour climbs. Col d'Izoard, and Col du Chaussy also on the calendar this week.

Great job, keep at it, and distance and time will come along naturally

27-spot.

42 miles at 17.9 MPH with 1,500’ gain. Legs felt tired.
