Today 16.2 miles @ a shamefull 12.2 mph avg. This was on my hybrid with wife and friends, one who thinks that we went 10 miles too far

I miss my road bike

I did the 60 mile ride for Climb to the Clouds yesterday. I ended up averaging ~16.5 mph or so. There were some killer climbs in this one including Wachusett. I never really hooked onto a group for more than 10 miles so most of the riding was alone with no paceline to boost my average. I somehow missed Charlie at the mass start in all of the confusion.

I was happy to finally get back out on my MTB on Sunday, after rain ruined my plans during the week, for a 5 mile or so ride.

It took me a little longer than usual due to a couple of stops to adjust my seat after bending the rails during a rapid dismount caused by my pedal hitting a rock while humming along a flat section after a downhill.

I guess the seat wasn't meant to hold up my fat ass...

70.1 miles yesterday. in the morning before it got really hot i headed out from my crib in somerville through arlington, lexington, lincoln, concord, carlisle and back for 50 or so miles. then some afternoon, early evening ridin' around boston and the waterfront lookin' at tourists (one of my favorite things to do--sometimes ya see a cute one or two!! but man oh man are there some fat americans out there--jeez!! and eatin all sorts o' crap right out in the open!!

this sounds harsh, but if i was fat i would never eat in public

).

and i have to say that the waterfountain in concord is the JAM. the one in lexington never really gets cold enough.

these rides were all on fixed gear. i'm goin' tomorrow to wheelworks to order a geared bike so i can hang wif you cats!!

Gears! Are you getting soft on us? Do you need instructions?,

40 mile standard RT commute. Finished lunch when a co-worker stopped by, squeezed my back tire and said "Dude, your tire's flat". Patched that one at work, rode 4 miles to start the commute home, and then I flatted again. It blew out while I was going pretty fast. Changed that tube completely and finished the ride home. All in the wonderful 97 degree heat. Tested the flat tube when I got home and found out my patch held, it was a leak up by the valve stem. I must of moved it too much when pumping it up with the hand pump.

Just another day on the commute. A few more of these and I'm ready for flat duty on le Tour!
