General Update: November 4th 2008

Been a while between posts. I want to see if this generates tags that are searchable, so I will talk about my bike ride today.

Rode at Flatwoods at lunch time, 13 roundtrip. I was kind of writing a song which sounded a lot like "Love On A Two Way Street" by the Emotions.

Big gear workout today, was burning off the Starbucks coffee I had this morning after voting.

Rode at Flatwoods at lunch time, 13 mile round trip. Took it easy, just tried to spin easy circles. Felt tired during ride, not a good sign. Need to be more consistent about riding.

Rode at Flatwoods at lunch time, 13 mile round trip. It rained, it stopped, it was wet, it was dry, kind of a weird ride. Did a cadence ride in a big gear with the wind at my back, and in a small gear with the wind in my face. Good ride, legs feel like they're coming around.

Worked at home, so I rode to the tip of Anna Maria and back. I'm guessing it's about 18 miles, it took me an hour. Did a cadence ride in 53x18. Spun fast, got heart rate up, legs felt good.

Don't remember what the song was in my head.

Was going to ride at Flatwoods, but it was closed due to the storm. So I rode up to Cross Creek and did an out-and-back. Tough going out due to wind, but had wind with me coming back. Did big gear workout, felt good mostly.

Bike Ride: Saturday, August 16 2008

Did 50 miles or so, no computer on the Lemond, so it's best guess.

Rode over to DeSoto, then the Barn Loop, then the Anna Maria / Longboat Key ride. Up and down the beach, always a good ride. Had a bit of rain, but nothing major. Got a bit more tired than usual, but I haven't been logging miles so I'm probably just out of riding shape. Also, that gut is looking up at me again, need to get rid of that.

No ride on Sunday, but did mow lawn.

Bike Ride: Wednesday, August 13 2008

Rode at Flatwoods at lunch time, 13 mile round trip. Legs not feeling good yet, so just did a cadence ride rather than short intervals. Got my heart rate up for entire ride and focused on endurance and breathing.
