40 mi. I know a later start exposes me to more heat, but I guess I needed a reminder! I attended a product testing event at Lululemon and ran 2-3 miles. That had me arrive later than the advertised 9am for the ride up and back with a smaller than usual group. I rode to … Continue reading 40@10

30 mi. With a leg not good enough to run on, I rode with Charlotte from Loggerhead Park to Bridge Rd and back. We spoke most of the way, our speed seldom touched 20mph either to or from the turnaround. I like to loosen up, so thins was post Boston exercise on a sunny and … Continue reading Get reaquainted
100 mi. This was an early 4am start with Charlotte, Walter and I. We were in the dark most of the way to the turnaround at Cumberland Farms, Ft. Pierce. The road we took to get there was nice, north of the Hutchinson Island bridges it was right along the Intracoastal waterway. Walter turned back … Continue reading 100 miler
20 mi. Today's Singer Island circle was calm out west by my house, but once I headed eastward, the breeze was apparent. I felt the 10mph ESE wind immediately, my speedometer was hovering in the 19-20mph range. Up the Blue Heron Bridge into the wind, across Singer Island with the wind, I touched 22-23mph. Coming … Continue reading Thru the breezy mist

We rode to Bridge Road, where Charlotte, Carolyn and Stanton decided they'd be going to the end of Gomez and turning back. Scott, Chiara and I went … Continue reading 70 miles of heat & wind.
20 mi. I spun a 19 mph average for the Singer Island circle... going into an 18 mph sustained wind from the east had me slugging at 16, 17, 18 mph up Northlake and over the bridge. Coming home with the wind, I was going an easy 23-25 mph. I finished one water bottle on … Continue reading Wind-ee!
36mi. Our intent was to do a 50 mile ride... strong SE winds had everyone reconsidering that decision right after we arrived at Loggerhead park to start. Stanton, Charlotte, Chiara, Adrianna and a new rider Cole made up our group. Adrianna made the "I'm back but out of cycling shape claim", which lasted for about … Continue reading Pressed.
50mi. I rode with Chiara, Walter, Stanton, Charlotte, Carolyn. It was a warm morning and it proved to be a good workout. Chiara was ready to go, keeping a good pace to and from the start point. I used Carbo Pro in the water bottle, and half/half G2 & water. My legs felt good, my … Continue reading A good brick!
30mi. Having just returned from Colorado and Utah where little structured activity occurred, I went riding to Bridge Rd and back with Chiara and Walter. We kept a good pace 22+ going there, then got subjected to the wind coming home. I looked to keep my speed while pulling over 20mph, but I saw some … Continue reading Spin the wind after a layoff
29mi. Sunday's ride was to Bridge Rd and back. Normally, a nice outing, today was amped up because of S SE winds of 10-12 mph. Going there myself, Chiara, Stanton Charlotte and Walter kept a good 21+ pace. Coming back was a wind tunnel exercise. I tried to use the aero position and pull the … Continue reading Mem.
