Ideas, photos, routes, and stories. Riding, swimming, biking, etc. Dave Masterson's workout blog.
Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
30 miles - Time, to revisit riding! I haven't done this jaunt in two months at least, and our main street, Northlake Boulevard was repaved. I like to start early so as not to get much traffic and especially to not be mixed in with the Christ Fellowship church traffic in or out. I started … Continue reading Wind and wheels
30 mi. I woke up early enough to make a ride before the predicted rain arrived. There was such a small wind it was negligible. I had a bottle of Accelerade mixed in cold water from the fridge dispenser. That didn't last, it was warm before the half way point. The roads were very empty … Continue reading Calm riding

My speedometer, CatEye wireless dual … Continue reading Remember me?

We don't get the afternoon rains that would bring cooler afternoons. My ride was not speedy, good heading with the … Continue reading Remember the Heat
48mi. Second week in a row for this group. Our area has a large number of very fast cyclists. I am not one of them. No different than showing up for a Masters Swim meet, I came again to the Sunday 7:30am ride. Last week we went 32 mph on US-1, post-beer and wine at … Continue reading The B Ride
