20mi. I spun through my Singer Island early route this morning instead of running. It was windy form the NE, so the trip up Singer Island was against the wind. My average speed was 19.1 for the route, my hurt leg felt some of the effects of riding so I never pushed that hard. It … Continue reading Off the mark a bit

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
32 miles. This was a great ride starting at the end of Key Biscayne in Bill Baggs State Park. I was camping with the scouts and knew bringing the tri bike was a good idea. I woke at 5:45am and had to sneak out of the park, which doesn't open until 8am. (I also had … Continue reading Miami ride
33 miles. Another ride up the Jupiter Island stretch, this time with others. I started with the 6:30am group, went most of he way up with them, staying to talk with Adrienne Papa for the last 3 miles heading north. The way back was with a new rider to the group named Chris, Bob who … Continue reading This again?
30 miles. Today was training on wheels. Carolyn didn't wake up for this one, so I cruised to Bridge Rd alone there and back. S SE wind of 13 mph made the trip back a test, like a 14 mile climb! I know my bike was setup for me properly, I wonder why my left … Continue reading Into the solo breeze
19 miles. The time seems to be longer than just about an hour, and at today's 16.1 mph average pace, it was. I think about all sorts of things, it's so dark and as a result, there's no scenery, so I find an idea and I chase it. Work, training, swimming, it's all fair to … Continue reading Riding and daydreaming
20mi. When I ride the tri bike, sleek and slender thing that it is, I use the aero bars as often as possible to keep my head out of the wind. On the mountain bike, no such luck! I did my usual loop today, a wind of 18 mph from the ESE was there to … Continue reading Notice the difference.
29mi. What a great day for riding with no winds or flaming temps to contend with. Chiara, Charlotte, Stanton and Carolyn all made a ride to Bridge Rd and back. It was Chiara's first ride since September. Meeting up was fun, the larger Sunday group was surprised to see Chiara show up... Marty, Adrienne, Erica … Continue reading Mother’s Day
19mi. It's never so calm that you can ride in any direction and feel like there's no wind. Except for this morning! It rained last night, so I didn't fill up my tires to 140psi 'til the early am hours. I used the new PGA-Mirasol route and improved the average speed for today to 21.7mph. … Continue reading A rare calm.
39 mi. It's good for me to keep track of the workouts and mileage, I guess I should look back now and again to see what I did that worked. This ride was from Carolyn's house in North Palm Beach to Bridge Rd, Hobe Sound and back. Our average speed was below 16mph, it was … Continue reading More time in the saddle
20 mi. When I see a forecast, I'm not really looking for the temperature as much as the wind speed and direction. 10mph S SE means most of my ride around Singer Island will be exposed to the wind. It is seldom still. The aero wheels feel the side gusts, and obviously the head on … Continue reading Seldom still.
