I started my last post like this, but since it was the same ride I'll post it again...

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!

After not riding since Wednesday in the woods, I got out and did the regular road ride today. Kind of breezy and that kept my avg down to 16.9. But I was once again riding in just shorts and a very light summer short sleeved jersey. What's up with that on Oct. 20?

Hopefully going to get out again tomorrow on the road.

Another regular road ride...I think it was even warmer today! Got the avg. back up to 17.4 and now Just got home and CBS TV has some mtn biking racing on. NICE!

On Tuesday I saw the sunrise in the woods at a few minutes after 7. Did the usual hour ride.

Got out for about 45 minutes on Wednesday for a wet ride. Woods were wet but not raining when I started and then the rains came down hard and i headed in after about 45 minutes.

Noiw, I Just got back from a 55 minute ride in the woods....took a header and I think I dislocated my small finger on the left hand. After I got myself up, I couldn't bend the finger and the top of it was at about a 45 degree angle from the rest of the finger. I pushed it back into place, heard a snap and now I can move it but its getting stiff. Can you say Ibuprofen and Ice?

Went for a quick 15mi road ride after leaving work last night - perfect weather with the long sleeve.

Yeah, I was icing it all day while in the office at work...and in the car on the way to/from. It swelled up some and got black and blue, but I still have almost all of the range of motion. Considering what it looked like right after the fall, before I put it back into place, its feeling pretty good!

50 miles yesterday. long way home through needham, wellesley, weston, lincoln, waltham, lexington, arlington, cambridge, back to somerville.:beer::flag: lot's of traffic for some reason.

rainy ride to work this morning!:blink:

Nice cool fall ride today. Did about 30 on the road. With this changing weather, its hard to gauge what clothes to wear. I was a bit warm today, but I always get my jerseys with full zips which help bigtime with ventilation. 16.9 avg. but not bad considering the wind was pretty strong.

My finger is a nice shade of purple but the swelling is going down a bit from friday's dislocation. Still icing and I'm keeping it moving.

Went mtb with a friend today at Vietnam, MA - what a cool place! We spent a the whole day there and explored a bit. Very cool!

Sunday morning 730a got in an hour mtn biking...quick Stillwell Woods Loop (LI)

 

[marcski]

Got out for a hill ride today in the woods. About an hour of ride time, 3 good hills, over 1000' of vert plus I did a bunch of single track in there. I'm so ready for ski season. Even put on about 4-5 lbs in the last month or so, I'd like to say its muscle weight....as I'm riding as fast as ever...and doing just as many (if not more) sit-ups, and other bodyweight exercises.

Short ride halloween (yesterday) morning. But its so dark in the a.m...man, I can't wait until sunday when we change the clocks..get an hour extra ride time in the a.m.

Was having some brake rub on the mtn rig. Needed new pads and I wore down my rotor a bit so I took advantage and upgraded to an aftermarket rotor....I forget the brand, same one I had put on the front tire last year..made a huge difference, thicker and stronger and have had no (keeping fingers crossed) brake rub issues at all since I put that one on last year.

Also had to get a new rear tire. Got another Kenda Nevegal Stickeee. The old one lasted a full year of hard riding.

put on a new cassette and chain on the Mtb and did some lubing and cleaning of derailleurs, crank, etc... went for an hour long ride last night and the thing felt like new again - shifting is crisp now.

Next up... bleed brakes.
