Only 11 miles around the lake trail - but did 11 yesterday and another 11 the day before. Will have more time to ride next week after I finally finish my last class.

65 fairly leisurely miles this morning, and a beautiful day for it indeed. Set out looking for a 100km (62.2 miles) @ 17mph, ended up with 65 @ 18.5mph. Nothing but 3.5 water bottles for the ride. Average ride speed got killed when I got stuck behind a big group finishing their route, and didn't want to look like "that a-hole" by blowing by them. So I just sat about two bike lengths back of their group and slugged along at their 15-16mph for about 8 miles. If not for the rolling blockade, I would have finished the day like 19.2-19.3mph I'm sure. It was sorta relaxing, though.
As we got further and further up the street, pairs kept peeling off of the group, until the final handful of them were down to just over 13mph. You'd think all those shaved legs would make for some serious speed, but looking at the Strava Fly-bys, the group speed dropped dramatically once they hit about the 50 mile mark and the group started to shrink. They really blast down the SART in a group of 10+ riders, though.

On the plus side, the only looks you'll get from the casual loafcycling group I usually ride with is the "Wanna stop for beer?" look.
If you're ever in Texas feel free to blow by me. I might draft for awhile. A very short while before I get dropped like a rock.

after getting flattened by a hit/run driver 5 weeks ago, the orthopedist decided my shoulder didn't require surgery and cleared me to resume riding on monday...
rode 22 today and finished the week with 107 mi.

Rode 55 miles this morning. Did 20 of those miles with a group. The last 10 miles were painful. It has been a month since I've done the long ride. I enjoy it a lot.

Having said that, I have another century planned for the 15th of next month.

Like, 0.5 miles lol. I picked my bike up from the shop today and rode around the neighborhood just as a quick test drive, but didn't have time to actually take it for a good spin. Maybe tomorrow!

I'm just getting back into biking. I did 19 miles today with some hills- those wore me out. I've done 440 over the last 6 or 7 weeks. Can't remember the exact day I started up. I usually do a 15 mile loop everyday with a day off to recover after every 7-8th day.

I think the latter looks worse than the former.

On Monday, I rode 82 km with 893 m elevation. I've been averaging about 200 km a week for the last 4 weeks. My season is likely to end in 3 weeks as I'll be traveling in Italy into mid-November. Some years we can ride right into December but that's iffy around here. A big problem by then is lack of daylight, in December sunset is at roughly 4 pm
