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

I rode four times this week, for 92 miles at 20 kph average. Been awhile on all counts. Poco a poco.

I like that they let us have Gatorade and the like. I've had three so far. Only one with Powerade.

5 of us avoided the club again and did our own ride of about 60 miles. It wasn't too hot but one friend was suffering a bit. He hasn't been riding enough and his old back injury flared up. They wanted to stop at a barbecue place before the last climbs,, so we did. Friend called for an Uber because his back hurt so much and the rest of us climbed in the heat with bellies full of BBQ!

The sweat was pouring off my head today while doing intervals. Felt like someone dumped a bucket of water with me.

Since I've been riding afternoons, when there is little traffic but more heat, I mounted a second bottle cage on each bike. On the handlebar. I don't much like carrying the pump on the top tube.

Hey! For me there is one good route. Unless I want to go longer distance.

Woke up to ride, light drizzle. Decided not worth it.



The podium is right there for someone to take.
