Sounds similar to my ride; 70 minutes, 181 max HR, avg 154. I don't know how much I climbed though and I wish I could claim it was basically non-stop, I guess I stopped like 4 times and slowed to a crawl at the top of climbs a few times. I went after as many hills as my limited time would allow. No ST in my ride at all though, all DT and dirt roads.

The last 3 days have been some of the nicest weather wise I've ever seen on a holiday weekend! 75-80 degrees and dry. Got in 3-days of road riding with my wife. Saturday 39 miles, Sunday 57 miles and an easy 20 today. A nice warm up to the 3 century rides we'll be doing in the next 3 weeks.

DId a loop from LP to Jay To keene and bacl to LP this weekend. That hill between Keene and LP is something else. It took me an hour and 10 minutes to go 14 miles.

Did that same hill ride i did on monday. about 51 mins, 4 large hills, a bit less than a 1000' vert climbing with some single track thrown in. Can't wait to get the roadie back today so i can ride it tomorrow a.m.

Regular road ride today...28 miles, 1900' of climbing. 1 hour 42 mins. 16.6 avg. A bit slow....but first road ride in 6 days and first one with hills in 12.

Back in the woods this a.m. Was in there for a good 90 minutes today. A good mix of techy, single track and some good hills. I cleaned my road ride last night....It's looking all shiny and smells from lube. Can't wait to get on it for tomorrow's ride!

Century ride today in MA and RI. 101.25 miles in just over 6 hours. 16.9 MPH average. Nice day overall but there were some headwinds.

Been a while since posting. In the Kingdom for the month of Aug. Internet connection w/old laptop & cel phone...19kbps

Anyhow: rode my second (15th annual) Echo Lake (all dirt) Road Race..took 2/7 in my 50-59 age group. Broke 40 mins. Hoping for 37:30 next year.

Did a bunch of riding around Jay; 242, 100, 101 & 105. 242 just west of Jay is brutal (knocked my front wheel out of true bigtime descending @ 35mph) coming down the hill - the dirt roads over at Echo Lake were much smoother.

Did 227 miles w/ 29K feet of climbing. Averaging 14+/- mph.

Just did my local ride from the shop to top of Hidden Valley & back..(SW PA)...18 miles, 2200 feet of climbing. 1:20.

Lovin' my Pilot 5.9

23 miles around the Great Swamp in NJ today. Hot, humid, but a nice ride. Also, got in 33 miles on the D&R trail last Saturday from Frenchtown, NJ to Lamebertville,NJ and then walked across to New Hope, PA, grabbed some lunch. On the way back at Lambertville, we stopped at a micro brewery and sampled some fine beer, you get like 4 small cups for a buck. It seemed to give V more energy and she led the whole crew back all the way the back.

46 miles on Saturday with the fatherinlaw. Not that speedy, but I had to take it a bit easy on the old guy. LOL. He is amazing, 60 and ill with the big C, but still rides up the hills. He did 46 with me on sat and then another 50 yesterday.

I was "on duty" with the kids yesterday, so didn't get out, but did get out for my regular ride this morning. 28 miles, 1900' of climbing, 17.0 mph. Got some new rubber for the road bike, Continental Grand Prix 4000's. Felt nice and smooth out there today.
