I needed to get a long one in today as I haven’t put in any serious miles since the Century a week ago. Nice ride today, though there were a million people out on bikes. They caused serious hazards on the bike trail, but no accidents. I did, however hit a ground hog towards the end of the ride. Little bastard just ran right in front of me and I wasn’t able to avoid him. He lived (as far as I could see) and there doesn’t appear to be any damage to my bike (as far as i can see). It happened, as they say, just a couple of miles around the corner from my house, and starting and ending point. I’ll be doing another century on the 21st of this month, and possible another on the 4th of October. That should be a nice cap on my riding season this year.

I just ended a 5 day fast today and I’m usually pretty weak after a fast so the focus was just on burning some calories today. I decided to do a few sets of light weight on upper body also. Not a bad workout. I’ll be hitting weights lightly for the next couple of weeks.

Took a day off after the century to recovery but needed to get the wheels back on the pavement today. Went a little harder today than Sunday but not too hard.

Well…this is pbviously an endurance ride. Today was an annual century for a local bike club I belong to. It was a great day to ride. Not too hot or humid and little to no wind. There were quite a few hills and we didn’t push it too hard. 100+ miles is enough to trax one’s leg muscles. I felt strong the whole way though, which is not how I would characterize the last time I did this ride. I was hurtin bad at mile 70.

Rode fairly hard today.  I didn’t intend to but I only had an hour so I decided to ride as hard as I could for 30 minutes, then turn around and head back home, again as hard as I could.

Nothing strenuous today. It was more of a recovery ride. Kept the heart rate relatively low. Tomorrow is another story.

Another cycling day. I’m trying to get as much riding in before summer’s end as possible. Goal is 2000+ miles. I’m currently at 1400. Also, I’m getting ready for a couple of century rides so I’m putting in a lot of base miles. Still lifting but the focus lately has been on cycling. Today’s ride was fast but not as fast as last Tuesday.
