9mi run, 19mi bike - I made a great move by finding out from Lanae if she and Rick and Lilia were doing the ride I sometimes see them involved with after bridge running. They were, I committed to go. It was so steamy hot and almost breezeless running the bridge. Teresa, the two Jens … Continue reading Two for Tuesday

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
30mi. Same situation, off from work and I have time to ride. It's not as sunny as yesterday, and I am starting 2 hours later so I opt out of sticky spray sunscreen. The road is full of commuters and I'm not so lucky at the big intersection traffic lights. I feel really good getting … Continue reading Try it again…
29mi. I have been riding with wind this season since Thanksgiving, with only a few workouts having less than 12mph breezes. I started in hot conditions, Apple phone equipped for a loop to the Inlet. Plenty of time spent riding into the wind, since it came from the east. I pressed into the wind to … Continue reading Using the wind
30mi. I rode to the Jupiter Inlet from home, using a later start time (5:00pm) to maybe take advantage of cooler temps. I swear I was caught by most traffic lights on Military Trail heading north... plenty of stop -> clip out of my pedals -> get a drink -> start up again. It was … Continue reading Back on record
29mi. I left the house into a 16mph SSE wind, so NOrthlake Eastbaound was upstream. Once I turned on Military Trail, I benefitted from the wind, but not the traffic signals. I had to complete stop and unclip at Northlake, Burns Rd, PGA, Donald Ross, Frederick Small, Toney Penna and then eastbound on Insdiantown Road, I … Continue reading Hills or wind? Same as..
72 miles. The ride from CityPlace in West Palm Beach to Dolphins Sunlife Stadium was really fun! We had done our fundraising and prepared with a few good windy rides on weekends leading up to the event. Jessica had done this before from Boca to the stadium, this was our first attempt at 72 miles. … Continue reading Dolphin Cycling Challenge
51 miles. I was hoping for good weather that would allow us to go further than the 40 miles we had done twice a few weekends ago. Bingo - great sun, but a wind from the NNE. Jessica was rested and ready, her performance would show that in stars! We left after 1pm, hopes of … Continue reading The Push for Next Week’s Ride
40 mi bike/ 5 mi run - It was supposed to be a regular 30 mile ride, that one on Thursdays that I've missed for all of December! Walter wanted to ride Friday, so this idea of going out today for longer came about. Suzanne said she was riding alone so we made the plan … Continue reading Thursday Housewife Brick ride
51 miles. We leave with the idea of going far - I hope we are both feeling ready when we hit Bridge Rd, that's the "point of no return" for going 30 or beyond it... courageously of course! We stop at the Lighthouse Park to see Kylie and Rachel at a lacrosse practice. It's nice … Continue reading First 50 for Jess.
5mi. Paul had a good showing today, plenty of the regulars ribbed me about not being at track lately, which spilled into others contributing that I hadn't been at the bridge on Tuesdays. This is what happens when you alter a 10-12 year habit and running schedule! Paul's intervals today had many thinking we'd be … Continue reading Where have you been?
