Back on the road again this morning..in the saddle at 6:30..got my regular ride in...About 28 miles, 2000' of climbing. Got my average upto 16.5 mph the last few rides....I still want to get it back up to the mid -17's..where I was at the end of last summer.

Got out on the Mtn. Bike early tuesday..for a good hour ride in the heat.

Will get out again on Friday and saturday mornings. Then on Sunday for Father's Day, will be doing a ride up the west side of the Hudson, along 9W from Rockland County north around West Point, on the flanks of Storm King Mt., along Route 218. Anyone ever been up that way?

Really great road riding. Awesome views from up there both up and down the Hudson River.

I've been out almost every other day on the mtb, turning in about 6-7 miles with a swim in the pond to cool myself off. great to have something to look forward to after work.

35 on the bike today. Quattro: 20 miles of the miles were from the start of the Tri bike course. Hoping that in early am the winds wil not be howling or it will be a slow start to the ride. Good thing is the swim is in protected area so we should be OK.

MonkeyBrook, what Tri are you doing soon? I'm racing in a Sprint distance this saturday. I crashed horribly today, too. Riding home from work no less, and a kid on a BMX bike (co-worker, yes we were racing) cut me off. I jumped on the brakes and hit his rear tire, went right over the handlebars. Elbow and wrist are pretty banged up, and I burned all the skin off my hip. you can see the fat under the skin. It's pretty cool.

DH14, I hope you are feeling OK...stay safe. We are going to attempt the Half-Iron in RI...training is going well...event is 4 weeks from today. Should be a blast.

The race went fine. I just put a big tega-derm on the burn and raced. My average bike speed was around 20mph for 11 miles, whcih is faster than I usually train at. I was pleased. My total time for the radce was 1:13:52. Not quite a PR, but pretty good for the paltry amount of training i've done.

I got out on the road on friday morning...did my regular 28 miler w/2000' of climbing. Then out on the trails on sat morning for about 75 mins.

Couldn't get out for a long enough ride to do the long ride up the Hudson today, so ended up doing 30 miles in Harriman State Park with just under 2500' of climbing. Beautiful riding up there...
