Back on the road again this morning..in the saddle at 6:30..got my regular ride in...About 28 miles, 2000' of climbing. Got my average upto 16.5 mph the last few rides....I still want to get it back up to the mid -17's..where I was at the end of last summer.

Got out on the Mtn. Bike early tuesday..for a good hour ride in the heat.

Will get out again on Friday and saturday mornings. Then on Sunday for Father's Day, will be doing a ride up the west side of the Hudson, along 9W from Rockland County north around West Point, on the flanks of Storm King Mt., along Route 218. Anyone ever been up that way?

Really great road riding. Awesome views from up there both up and down the Hudson River.

I've been out almost every other day on the mtb, turning in about 6-7 miles with a swim in the pond to cool myself off. great to have something to look forward to after work.

35 on the bike today. Quattro: 20 miles of the miles were from the start of the Tri bike course. Hoping that in early am the winds wil not be howling or it will be a slow start to the ride. Good thing is the swim is in protected area so we should be OK.

MonkeyBrook, what Tri are you doing soon? I'm racing in a Sprint distance this saturday. I crashed horribly today, too. Riding home from work no less, and a kid on a BMX bike (co-worker, yes we were racing) cut me off. I jumped on the brakes and hit his rear tire, went right over the handlebars. Elbow and wrist are pretty banged up, and I burned all the skin off my hip. you can see the fat under the skin. It's pretty cool.

DH14, I hope you are feeling OK...stay safe. We are going to attempt the Half-Iron in RI...training is going well...event is 4 weeks from today. Should be a blast.

The race went fine. I just put a big tega-derm on the burn and raced. My average bike speed was around 20mph for 11 miles, whcih is faster than I usually train at. I was pleased. My total time for the radce was 1:13:52. Not quite a PR, but pretty good for the paltry amount of training i've done.

I got out on the road on friday morning...did my regular 28 miler w/2000' of climbing. Then out on the trails on sat morning for about 75 mins.

Couldn't get out for a long enough ride to do the long ride up the Hudson today, so ended up doing 30 miles in Harriman State Park with just under 2500' of climbing. Beautiful riding up there...

Aerobars are great! Not only for speed, but when doing long rides they give you a bit of a break from riding in one position.

Got in my first bike ride of the season today, is that sad or what. But with moving, got tons of work to do on the new apartment. Anyway felt great to be out there again and will be getting many more rides in. Today was a simple 13.2 mile ride @ pitiful 13.5 mph, but what the hell, it's a start

Did the same ride today, increased the speed to a 14.5 mph average. Still nothing to brag about, but it's an improvement.

finished my 1st 70.3 Half Ironman in Providence on Sunday...great experience...didnt push too hard as i wanted to finish, negotiating nutrition, endurance on that distance is tricky, didnt want to bonk

1.2 mile swim 31.14
56 mile bike 3:06.07 (18.5 avg)
13.1 mile run 2:41.41 (12min mile) very hot and very hilly run...walked a bit....

Total Time 6:28:42

Nice work Skiquattro. I have no idea how good those times are, but that you even entered the race, let alone finished, is an admirable feat in my book.
