Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Finally below 240 lbs! I've had 3 Beers in the last month. More like 6 weeks actually. Why must we become fuel efficient as we age? No bueno!
Just finished ac + sweet spot work out for the 3rd time on Zwift. Good lord that's a tough one. Legs feel like jelly.

I had a nice club ride. About 12 of us did 50ish miles without a ton of climbing while about 6 others stretched it to 72. A little windy but nothing like it was here in the wind tunnel.
One of the ladies told me she hopes when she's my age she can still be riding. Ouch. I know it's meant as a compliment but still....

Did some leg extensions, leg curls, press. Then I went to some BB bicep curls. first 3 sets good. Last set I picked up the bar and my back tweaked. Holy **** it hurts to breathe. Getting old sucks.
Maybee... now hold on, this will sound nuts at first but hear me out, you should ease back into lifting.. I know crazy talk . Plus all that added mass will have to be hauled on the bike. More weight= more watts... just spitballin' here.....

We got a little snow up on the hills. I was gonna try to stay up there 'til sunset but I wasn't dressed to hang out on top of a parking garage in 20mph winds.

All the streams eventually end up with annoying boxes like this. Why doesn't TSN want me to see its commercials?
