I hit the rail trail today. Had both kids in tow. First time I've pulled the bike trailer and it wasn't bad, in spite of the 70ish pounds of kids in it. I think I rode for about an hour?

Maybe later in the week I can get into the woods again.

13.42 in 42:08 this afternoon. Damn headwind for most of the ride too, but I love flying along the beach tucked into the aerobars.

33 this am, 50 coming up tomorrow. Pretty wind up here in RI. Average speeds way down but solid workout.

did about 10 miles on the mountain bike this morning. It should have been about 7 to 8 miles, but I got lost on a section of the Metacomet trail I was exploring for the first time that wasn't very well marked. 3 seperate times I though I had found the right trail, bombed down some nice long sections of technical downhill only to end up in a farm field or someones backyard. Then I had to ride/hike back up the trail(s) and try a new direction. A ride that should have taken 1.5 hours tops took almost 2.5. But it was fun either way, and I found 3 new long technical downhill trails (well long by New England standards).

I was down in Florida for a few days. On Friday I rented a Trek 5200 and rode 50 miles along A1A, from Delray Beach to Ft. Lauderdale and back. You can really rack up the miles down there, since its so flat. Only thing you have to worry about is the headwinds...which can be pretty severe right on the ocean, but weren't so bad on my day. I averaged about 18.1 or 2.

I was out on the road bike last Saturday and Sunday mornings for my regular ride (28 miles, 2000' of climbing). And then the mtn bike on tuesday and wednesday. (And then the Florida ride on Friday).

I can't wait to go tomorrow....back on the road.

I have no idea how far I went today, but I hit the trails at White Memorial again this morning for a little over 1 hr. Not really technical, but my knees are off anyway right now.

Do your knees ussually bother you after a ride? It could just be that your knees are not used to bike riding yet, or it could be how your bike is set up. Sometime when people have their seat too low or too far forward or backwards it can bother the knees. Of your knees keep bugging you after or during rides take your bike to the shop where you got it and have them re-adjust the bike to fit you.

My knees were bothering me before the ride from overtraining on Sat with my walk/jog. So it's not bike-related, but thanks for the advice. I was pleased that they were okay during the ride, though. So at least if I have to back off on the walk/jog I can keep MTBing.

Finally getting back into some consistancy.
22 miles Thursday, 24 miles Friday, 57 miles Sunday and 23 miles Monday. All four days with my wife. She led the entire 57 on Sunday, her choice.
Had to spend Saturday with the in-laws so that day was off.

13 ish miles on Saturday of some awesome Hardwoods single track. Great uphills, downhills, and a couple of tight tree sections. Felt great and inspired me to get out there more often.

Did about 12 miles at Robinson State park. Riding in this humidity sucks.

 

[davidhowland14]

about 6 miles yesterday and 10-11 today on the ellsworth. I hate the full suspension. it kills me on the uphills. Im finally settling into a pattern this year of about 5 rides a week.

Went out for a 1hr ride today and man, it was just one of those days - I left the shin guards at the car so felt naked, first log hop and I land weird and smack my jaw on a rock. From there is just goes downhill... missing lines I've hit perfectly tons of times, almost loosing it on an easy drop I've done millions of times and then at the end of the ride I notice dog s**t on both my tires and my derailleur? wtf?
Anyway, it was good to get out but now my head is a little off.
