Bike Log

[marcski]

Went out to Graham Hills Park on sunday...didn't have too much time, as we took the kiddies apple picking...but still got about 75 minutes out there.

Then was out in the local woods this morning for a fast 60 minutes. Did lots of hills, non-stop.

Hopefully getting up tomorrow for another hour + in the local woods before work.

Was out in the woods again this morning for 75 mins. Good ride with 2 other buddies. Hot and humid this morning with fog.

The regular road ride this morning. 28 miles, 1900' of vert., avg. spd: 17.0 mph. I was pretty pleased with the speed, considering I only had less than 6 hours of sleep....

The only bad thing....its the 4th of October, I got on the bike at about 7 and I was wearing shorts and one of my light summer short sleeve riding shirts......Doesn't bode well for early season skiing.....(no pun intended). If it stays this warm, I might have to bring that 2nd water bottle with me again...I only had one swig left when I finished.

been an aweful summer for riding..just havent gotten out...hoping for a nice long ride Suday AM....

 

[marcski]

Got out for a short 45 minute ride in the woods this morning with 2 buddies. I was pooped. Not enough sleep this week. If I wasn't meeting my buds, there was no way I was going to get out of bed to ride this morning.

I got out on the bike 4 days this week before work. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. Going to be a nice, warm weekend, I'll be out both days on the bike. Now just bring on the colder temps and snow...I'm so ready in more ways than one for the ski season!

Yeah, I bet you are....I think I need a light for the morning rides as well. With daylight savings not ending or starting whichever, until the first week in november, its pretty dark in the mornings.....Sunrise isn't going to be until about 7:20 or so in the next few weeks, right before the change.

I FINALLY got out for a ride again yesterday in the woods. I was out for about 1 hour with a few more stops then I would have liked, but I'll take what I can get at this point!

 

[marcski]

Got out for my regular ride late this afternoon/early evening. 28 miles, 1900' of vert climbing and I shattered my avg speed record for the ride, which was 17.1 and today I got it upto 17.5. I also hit a new max heart rate of 184 and averaged 166.

But, I got back at 6:30 this evening and was wearing my absolute lightest biking shirt I own. Yes, W, global warming is a myth.

 

[marcski]

Short 50 minute "recovery" ride in the woods this afternoon. Mostly Hills ride, probably 1000' of vert. Super hot like the middle of summer.

Hadn't been out on the road bike since... I don't remember.
Wanted a long ride today to enjoy the nice weather but wanted to take it easy.
So did 50 miles @ 15.5mph and stopped twice during to visit friends along the way for a few. Nice to be back out.

Yeah, I bet you are....I think I need a light for the morning rides as well.

Yeah, a light it going to change this fall season for me. I can feel it and am psyched - I rarely have time to ride on the weekends so I only have before and after work to ride... and soon it's going to be dark except for during the work day - a time of year that really bums me out because it usually keeps me inside.
I think you should ask for an early Xmas/Hannukah/Quanza present?

 

[marcski]

got out on the road this morning for my regular ride. 28 miles, 1900 of vert. 17.2 mph avg today. Great ride. Warm weather...still only in a light short sleeved jersey and shorts at 7 a.m. on October 8....crazy!

Bruno...missed your bike trip logs....Its been a while since you've posted here.

I got out yesterday in the woods for an hour. A bit wet, but no rain at the time. Stayed off most of the slick rocks...did a few hill climbs...probably about 1000' vert...not bad especially since I didn't stop, except to get that big stick out of my derailleur.

[marcski]

Regular road ride yesterday, 28 miles, 1900'. 17.2 mph with a nice wind....the cool temps help keep me moving.

Just got back from a quick ride (55mins) in the woods. Did the hill ride, 1000' vert. plus a few short single tracks. Didn't stop, except to pick myself off the trail after a header going down a short, steep shoot. Had a bit too much speed, got off the only line in this little shoot and couldn't get the front tire over a nice big rock. No blood.

Rode the mtb last night from around 6:30-8. Fun riding in the leaves, and now with some of them gone it was a little bit brighter later.
My chain broke at the weak link I was aware of and fixed it and babied it for the rest of the night... I guess I have to just suck it up and get some new cogs and a chain.

 

[marcski]

Did the regular road ride yesterday morning. 17.4 mph an awesome cool morning ride. A medium weight jersey and a windvest, tights and toe warmers. Felt so good out there.

Today was in the woods this morning for about an hour, from 7-8. Man its dark out there these days...espeically in the woods. Couldn't really see that well until about 7:15 or so.
