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

20mi. I met Adrienne at her home in San Michele, pumped up my tire and joined in the group of seven riding this am. Lanae Barnes, Lilia, Erica, Teresa and two guys I don't know went thru PGA and Mirasol to total 20 miles at a 20-22mph pace. Good ride, and I arrive home quickly … Continue reading 20 bonus mile ride
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
29mi. This morning Charlotte debuted her fast new Transition Expert. It is white and carbon, a very nice scheme of color for the Specialized 2011 models. Chiara came with her new wheels, and uniform, too. We went to Bridge Road and back, not with a group but joined by a guy we've ridden with before, … Continue reading New bikes abound.
20 mi. I did a loop around Singer Island, primarily to check on the bike newly serviced by Big Wheel Cycles. It works great, the levers are tight, the shifters are tight, it's ready for the race! A wind made early speeds of 23-25 turn into a 20.4 mph average, but that's fine for a … Continue reading Spin while I can
30 mi. Today's ride was a recovery form the long run, I went to Bridge Rd with Charlotte and then once on Jupiter Island, the 6:30 group. Coming back we rode with Dave Capparelli and 3 of his friends, that was a good pace until a 60+ yr old guy pulled the group at 24mph. … Continue reading Still fun to spin
20mi. I went out on the North 20mi TT loop and did very well. My average speed in the dark was 21.4mph. This is good for the upcoming Lake Worth Triathlon where the ride is 11 miles. I felt my legs going to the edge, pushing a high gear than I could reliably spin. It … Continue reading Love the North route
20 mi. This instance of the Singer Island Loop was graced with a mild SE breeze, and the odd appearance of fog in the headlights of my car. I start shortly after 5am, it didn't look foggy out, but I was surrounded by thick and moist mini clouds I guess. Wearing orange lenses, I should … Continue reading Foggy inside?
