55mi. What started as a slow 14 mph slog ride in the dark with a group of 25 from Tri Running Sports ended in a high-speed finish with four of us returning from downtown West Palm Beach. We met at the store at 6:30, had donuts and bagels, and left heading south on A1A. No … Continue reading Hangover 100 ride

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
40 mi/3 mi Starting out on wet roads after you drive through a storm isn't what you're thinking prior to a ride. I sent a text to Lanae who confirmed that she was still riding. Anita found me via text to report that all of her group had bailed out so she would ride this … Continue reading For what reason? Cuz it works.
40 mi/3mi Today's early start was a result of me STILL thinking the change in time from October was paying dividends. Clearly a quick check to the weather app would show me that sunrise is now at 6:58, so my planned 6:30 departure was going to be in the dark. I am glad Lanae doesn't … Continue reading Oh what fun it is to ride…
40 i ride/4 mi run A 6 am start time first morning of Daylight Standard Time means only 10 minutes of darkness followed by the empty roads of, "I get to sleep late another hour" mentality. I rode to the end of Gomez road with Lanae, who is tapering for MiamiMan Tri next weekend. We … Continue reading Early and chatty
50mi. Today I started with the group at 6:45 - maybe 10 people were on the ride. Wind from the NW made it a climb heading up, but our group was ready to paceline into that breeze. We morphed into a smaller group at Bridge Rd, then smaller again at Gomez and some took Dixie … Continue reading Take a windy turn on wheels
5mi run/21 mi ride They say the more adverse the conditions get, the better the workout. I believe! Hurricane Sandy is heading up the coast from Miami, it won't directly hit us but it will bring wind and rain through Saturday afternoon. Today's track workout was a smattering of shorter distances topping out at 800m … Continue reading Rolling heavy in the big winds
30mi. It's tougher each week to manage a ride on real wheels and not have time or sunlight run out on me. I went to the Inlet in a stiff breeze, enjoying a healthy breeze at my back all the way home. I took a picture of the approaching and menacing Hurricane Sandy. There weren't … Continue reading Solo ride into the dark
60mi ride/6mi run Starting at 6am were Lisa Reiss, Lanae, Scott Simpson and I. We were caught by Teresa and Joe by the RR tracks near Port Salerno. I had my Nite Rider helmet light and a few flashers since our first 45-60 minutes were in the dark. Scott pulls well, I followed more than … Continue reading Bricks are tough recovery!
60mi. I began starting with a smaller than usual group from Loggerhead park. We weren't making much progress, we stayed for an extended period at Bridge Rd talking, someone had tire issues immediately after turning onto Gomez Rd, and Sandsprit Park was a chatfest and generous rest stop, too. The group thinned at each delay, … Continue reading 60 out of nowhere
8 mi run, 27 mi ride In over ten years of Blue Heron Bridge running, I have never been able to tape another workout on the end of the hill run. Even in the summer, it's time to zip home, take care of John, drive to school, whatever. Well today I went with Lanae's suggestion … Continue reading Dualie on a Tuesday
