22 in "upstate" NY just north of westpoint. I couldnt even tell you what towns I biked in, not good with names. Ride went well and felt very good. Shoulder still very sore so I am getting a bit worried

Went for a nice hour+ ride at the West Hartford Reservoir yesterday with my Dad. It was a little muddy in the usual spots, but not bad at all. VERY nice day to be outside in CT.

I've been logging my miles in a spreadsheet this year. Hasn't been a terribly long season, but over the past 2.5 weeks I've done 312 miles at an average speed of 17 mph (all solo rides, but yeah, I'm slow.) )Average ride distance is only 35 miles. I need to get that waay up. To around 45 I think.

Oh yeah, and have logged a total elevation gain of 21,181 feet. Another nine thousand and I'll have biked Everest. Average elevation gain per mile is 67.2 feet this year. Most I've done in one ride this year was 4,000 feet. I feel like I could pretty easily do a 6,000 foot day.

6000ft? want to try a fun little hill climb? try out the Mt Washington Hill Climb.

it's only 7.6 miles in length but has an average grade of 12% with extended sections of 18% and the last 50 yards is an amazing 22%

No, when I say a 6000 ft day, I mean, over about 60 miles, with some downhills thrown in there. I don't resemble a "natural climber" by any definition of the term. As a matter of fact, I downright suck at climbing. Even with a triple (I currently run a traditional 53/39 double) and a 12-27, I seriously doubt I could make it up Washington.

But of the people I hang out with and info I read, a 5000 foot day is at least respectable for training. So. Yeah.

Went out on the mtb for a ride today after the rains... perfect weather, not sloppy at all, no one on the trails except for me, the deer, and frogs.

Sticky shifter cable towards end of ride... ugh

regular ol' commute yesterday--23 miles. goin' home it started rainin' to beat da band!! i couldn't've been wetter when i got home!! good times though!!!!

marcski · May 17, 2007, 3:59 PM

Got out this morning for 60 minutes of hard riding in the woods. The rain last night did the trail good.

I was also out there on Wednesday morning for an hour and a half and the trails were getting a bit dry.

I also got out there Tuesday morning at 7 before work.

That's the natural hattrick so far this week...tues, wed and thurs mornings all before working a full day.

Weather permitting i'm going for tomorrow as well.

bruno · May 18, 2007, 7:35 AM

Took my first bike ride of the season! Put on the new saddle that I purchased on Steep and Cheap last season and rode the bike 6 blogs to try it out!

It's a start, I still need to convince myself that winter is over.
