Bike Log 2010

[marcski]

Congrats man!! Way to go. And think, you still have months of quality riding left to go. :beer:

Quality riding never ends, providing you have quality winter riding gear and clothing.

Probably done at I'd guess under 100 miles. I might get in a few mellow rides late fall. We'll see. Shitty year for MTB for me.

There's always next year... as long as you don't take the summer off to tour with the band anyway...

I am down on LBI this week. No hills but the island is 18 miles long. We go from our place upto the lighthouse and then down to the southern tip and back. Just under 40 miles/day. Have done it the last 5 days and will do it again tomorrow, our last day here. I also rode thursday and friday mornings before I left....gives me about 250 this past week.

Ugh. I gotta try to get back out in a month or so. Going to likely be solo mellow rides for a while. I feel like a slug, and I even get slightly winded climbing the usual 4 flights of stairs in my parking garage. Can't going into ski season with cardio this bad.

I grew up on the mainland right near there...nice place, no boardwalks like certain towns to the north that shall not be mentioned. Enjoy.

The woods of Nass are rolling nice right now... You may consider somewhere like White Memorial if you're worried about aggravating any of your mended up areas though. Maybe even do some easy spins on a bike path to get the lungs working again. There's one in Torrington that goes right by Joe Bombers, you could stop by for a refreshment mid ride. :lol:

:-o I'm not that much of a disaster (I hope). I was thinking probably like a 69er/Hinman loop when I'm ready. Healing up pretty well.

Unfortunately, that's the typical state of my cardio each ski season. Got to change that one...

Awesome road ride yesterday. Similar ride that I did a few weeks ago. 45 miles about 3000' vertical. North of me up to Yorktown Heights where I saw a few people riding in the Golden Apple bike tour, which is Westchester County Bike Club's annual ride. But I went in the other direction and headed down and around the reservoir and the over the Croton dam and back home. Gorgeous weather....perfect ride.

Here's a pic of the dam:

I continue to ride almost exclusively on the road the last couple of weeks. Although, I did get out yesterday for a really nice ride on the big rig in the local woods with a buddy yesterday for the first time in about a month. But still on the road at least 5 days a week. Friday and today I did a little shorter ride than usual....about 25 miles or so but added a bunch of hills..so ended up doing about 300 feet more vertical feet in a ride that was about 5 fewer total miles...

Just over 1400 road miles for the year and I think I might be done. Was planning on biking around Winni today but didn't feel like dealing with the cold. Even when it "warmed up" to 49*, I decided my time was better spent hiking. Love fall hiking and my legs could use some hiking to get me in shape for turn earning. The pup can enjoy hiking with me, unlike riding. With the sun going down sooner and sooner after work, I just am not keeping up on my rides. Might be a good time to call it a season's done.
