28 mi. I knew by checking the weather report yesterday that the winds from Tropical Storm Debbie would still be pressing us at 15mph from the SSW. This means that my ride would be legendary going up Military Trail, then a struggle coming all the way home from Jupiter Inlet Park. It was dark when … Continue reading Breakthrough.

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
5mi Track today with Erica calling out the sprints. More of a bonus was I brought my bike for the forst of this summer's 20 mi post rides. Track was good, I ran w/Erica on the intervals, always trailing especially on the 1000m and the 800m, I was 50m behind by the end of those. … Continue reading Track and a summer ride
30mi. I left the house today at 5:45am, ordinarily a ride from Suzanne's house would start an hour later. It was raining hard but I didn't fuss at all today, I just went with flashing lights blazing. I did change out of the wacky white suspenders because they would be irreparably stained. I went Northlake to Military … Continue reading Stormy solo ride
50 mi. I arrived kinda early at the group ride so I left by myself. The wind was 1-20mph from the Northeast, so it was all over both sides of the ride it seemed. I kept a 20 mph pace most of the time, finding my way to US-1 for the rolling hills on the … Continue reading 50 solo cycling miles
30 mi. This was a great day to ride... I met Suzanne early (cause no kids in school) and we avoided the Palm Beach A1A construction. So that means riding Dixie Hwy to Lake Ave and taking the Lake Worth Bridge to A1A. Once there, we headed south, I led at 21-22 mph with no … Continue reading To George Bush in Boynton
46mi. I rode to Sandsprit Park with Austin as a method to give my legs a good spin. We went up at a moderate 19-20mph pace, and talked all the way. He didn't surge ahead except for one stretch up Dixie highway. On the way back he suggested we ride Dixie to the end and … Continue reading Post race spin out ride
I really appreciated the Saturday vs Sunday race date and the WPB proximity to home. On Friday night I dropped my bike off and with Sal & Suzanne's help, wrapped it up nicely to ward off the rain. We also did Char and Rick Luise's bike. I parked at Datura lot for the $5 all … Continue reading Motivation Man Olympic tri
50 mi bike, 3 mi run. Heat and a day that felt more like summer than spring. We rode as a fractured group to Bridge Road, then Suzanne, Rick, Suzanne, Adrienne and I went up Dixie Hwy. Rick and Suzanne sprinted quickly up the northbound road, I led Suzanne and Adrienne in an unsuccessful chase. … Continue reading Power to the girls
50 mi/3 mi run I was looking forward to riding with Suzanne and Suzanne then running afterwards. I figured the 6:30am start would have us ahead of the big Sunday groups I've associated with crashing and injuries. Didn't happen, we left with the group, Austin had no riders for his planned 70 miler so he … Continue reading The group thing
29mi. I started with Chiara at 7am at Loggerhead park. Bathrooms and fountains repaired, it is a good place to start now that the sun rises early around 6:15am. The regular longer ride group left at 6:45, ok for me, I'm low on any base cycling miles, I don't need the benefit of the draft. … Continue reading Tune up at race distance.
