Finally got some seat time this past week.

Road - 8.74
Mtb - 9.22

So far only one ride this season, this whole work thing is really starting to get in the way of life!!!
I need to schedule a regular after work ride night to make sure I get on the bike and don't live in the office. You game for some Case Mt RAWS? Maybe we can even get Paul to come out of hiding and join us.

I'm in, was even thinking about some raw road rides maybe out to Bolton area, just have to scope out some routes. Monday and Wednesdays are probably best, suppose to be on the road on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I would also be up for some RAW road rides. I am doing the Village charity ride again and this year we are aiming to do the 100k ride. I need some serious saddle time to get ready. One of my co-worked might even joint us for a road RAW.

I'm at 79.0 miles on the MTB now. 4.3 were on a rail trail with the kids, but the rest have been in the woods.

I started up again up this weekend on Sunday. 8 mile each for the last three days thru the woods behind my house. I need to get out and do some trail maintenance though. Big tree down across trail on the major route and on a side trail there are five trees down. None are flat on the ground. I am borrowing my neighbors Kubota these weekend and bringing chainsaw out to do the clean up.

Rode mountain bike over the road, 18 miles out and 18 back for a total of 36 miles. Rode from Binghamton, NY down Rt.11 to Hallstead, PA. This was on Sun. 5/26/13. Sunny and cool - perfect biking weather except for the wind in your face coming back. Down in the Hallstead area they are drilling natural gas wells and Fracking them. On Sunday only had 1 convoy of 3 big water tankers pass me.

nice fast bike shop ride yesterday. 29 miles 18.7 MPH average. A good mix of flat roads with a few climbs thrown in.
The best was 5-6 miles along the coast where we stayed at 25-30mph. You had to keep attentive - I let a gap open between me a the rider in front a few times and almost dropped off the back.

I felt it too at the end of the ride.:smile:
It was my fastest ride of the year so far. The guys and women too that I ride with Wed nights are really great riders.
On the flat coastal section we were taking turns pulling. I was in front doing about 26mph for about 1/2 mile when one of the racer guys goes by me and picks the pace up to 30mph. I was able to hang on but I couldn't pull long at that pace.
When we pulled over at the end of that road I said "hey 26mph isn't fast enough" ? He just shrugged. I guess it wasn't for him.
They dropped me on the hills too but I wasn't the only one everyone got spread out, I'd say I was about mid pack.

Tonight I'd lead a more "social" ride averaging about 15-16mph but it'll have more hills than yesterday's ride.

I have been riding alone a lot the past month plus due to my crazy work schedule. Most of my rides are last minutes types because I can't plan things out in advance due to work. Anyway.....this morning I was in the middle of my standard 10 mile loop at Robinson St Park in Agawam MA when I noticed that I wasn't really pushing the pace, I told myself I was being lazy and that I really need to start riding with other people. I get back to my truck, take my phone out of my back pack and check the time. Did the entire 10 mile loop in 1 hour 20 minutes, a solid 10 minutes faster than the last time I actually timed myself on this loop last season. Feeling pretty good about that.
