If you want to get out and start hitting the trail again, I overheard the ladies on last nights ride talking about having another woman's ride coming up, I could inquire about it for you as long as it doesn't interfere with woodcore and I riding with Brian!:wink:

Yeah, you just want an excuse to talk to the chicas!

Thanks but I think I'm going to stick it out solo for now. Too slow and too freaked out about the techie stuff--I'd probably just hold everyone back.

Aside from just getting miles in the best way to improve MTBing is to ride with other people... Just saying...

What Brian said, Stitch and Sammy are good people. As stitch was saying last night the whole purpose of the BSS is to get new people out riding without intimidating them and helping them progress. Said he gets more satisfaction out of watching people progress on the bikes than battling the CF guys on the trails.

Ok, back on topic. Pulled an 11 + mile ride last night.

That's great that they feel that way!

Nice job on the 11+ miles last night!

riverc0il · Jul 18, 2010

Recently increased my normal cadence from a really generic "80-90ish" to specifically 90rpm (or a touch higher) and have seen some nice performance increases. Legs are a little sore from the recent change as the muscles adjust (and a lack of biking in general due to the recent heat wave) but I think in a week or two they will be adapted to the faster cadence.

Today I extended a 33+ mile loop by 3 additional miles which included an additional 300 vertical gain and I beat my best MPH for the shorter version of the loop by 0.3. 36.7 miles total for an average of 18 MPH which is a pace I have never come close to on any ride over 23 miles.

The funny thing is that I had planned this to be a "slow" ride. Which it was for the first half. And then I got to the rolling hills, went down into the drops, and before I even knew what I was doing, well, it was no longer a slow ride! Any ways, if I had been going for it for the whole ride, I might have been even faster (or I might have run out of gas, who knows :lol: ).

I had a great ride on Saturday...My buddy joined me but ended up having to head back after about 35 minutes so I ended up extending my ride as we had nothing important pending. I ended up with 46.64 miles at 17.0 mph with 2900 feet of climbing. Then went out had a bunch of beers and some yummy sushi, stayed out until past 1 and then did my regular ride the next day..27 miles 1850' of vertical at 16.5 mph.

Riv...I try to keep my cadence between 90-100....

powbmps · Jul 19, 2010

I suffered my way through this:

http://www.new-hampshire.com/lions/mountain/mountain.html

Great course and great weather. Somehow the 39 y.o guy I was riding with signed up in Seniors II (27-34). He has never raced before, but ended up winning the division on a 15 year old Specialized. Veterans I (35-41) was pretty tough with three guys finishing in under 60 minutes.

Those friggin' tandem riders beat me again!

gorgonzola · Jul 19, 2010

this friggin blows - house & yard renovations along with graduation party prep has kept me off the bike the last 2 weeks...

I finally made it to the Kingdom Trails. Rode about 5 hours Friday, 5-1/2 Saturday and 2-1/2 on Sunday. I think it was about 50+ miles altogether.
Really nice trails.
