40 miles - Second day in a row for a ride to the Loblolly end of Gomez Road in Hobe Sound. It is cool again, windy again, and about 1:30-2:00pm. I think the ride yesterday makes my legs a little softer, I don't feel I have the "pep" I did on Saturday. Today I remember … Continue reading Forty wind two

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
40 miles - What a day to ride! The temps had dropped and we experienced a healthy North wind to start. We began riding at 1:15pm, but the temps weren't too humid or blast-furnace hot like would normally be the case. I noticed immedately the cloudless sky and cooler feeling air as we started on … Continue reading Forty wind one
30mi ride/6mi run I'm not in "go enter a tri" shape, as evidenced by the slow run I did today following a ride to Hobe Sound. Suzanne and I went, learning moments before leaving the park that Suzanne McCarthy was hit by a car on the Donald Ross Bridge. She has some injuries and sadly … Continue reading Brick sans sun
30 miles. What a difference this makes! I met Suzanne at Loggerhead Park at 8:15am. We rode to Bridge Rd and back, sometimes fast, sometimes at a pace we could talk through. At the Hobe Sound beach park, we met and spoke with a few people Suzanne knew. I flushed shower water on my hair … Continue reading Rosh Hoshanah ride
50mi. A start at home and up to Bridge Rd and back makes for 50 miles. That's me with two water bottles, a Clif Bar and a willingness to solo ride on familiar roads. It's me doing the "Inlet ride" I usually rip on Monday nights. It's somewhat windy on the way up Military Trail, … Continue reading Friday morning fifty
30 miles. Well that's two weeks in a row! I've come home from work, John goes to Ultimate frisbee, and I ride to the Jupiter Inlet Beach and back. Wind from the Southeast made it a slower ride home. I stopped at Jessica's but she said she probably wouldn't be home yet - she was … Continue reading Focus on the ride.
30 miles - I rearely get a chance to ride midweek, so when John and Sami opt for Ultimate Frisbee, I will try for an Inlet ride. It's a nice warm night, no food in my system so I bring a Clif Bar and some highly diluted G@ and water. It's hot riding North up Military … Continue reading Monday ride after work.
50mi - Today I woke and thought it might be nice to do a longer than my usual 30 mile ride to the inlet. I left home with a water bottle and a clif bar. I did remember to wear the lulu headband. Mid summer rides = headsweat in my eyes! I did well going … Continue reading 40 and cracked
30 mi ride/5 mi run Knowing it gets light earlier, I was awake and left the house around 6:30am. I didn't need lights on the bike, the roads were clear of cars. I rode against an easterly wind up Northlake Blvd and then north on Military Trail, also kind of against the wind. I felt … Continue reading A brick done early
30 mi. It's Mother's Day and I'm busy. John has graduation tomorrow, relatives are in town and regular life and work duties carry on. I woke up this morning with no idea or plan to workout. I ran yesterday and that was good. Last night Jessica told me something that spurred a thought. She said, … Continue reading Feed it!
