28.27 mi in 01:20:51 hours at 20.98 mi/h on Trek 1500. [Cycling] The Tuesday evening RSA ride. I kept up tonight, but I wasn't as strong as the previous week. I struggled a bit at times - probably still tired from the two long rides on the weekend. Temps around 90. Winds W and NW 3 to 9 mph.
67.48 mi in 03:47:15 hours at 17.82 mi/h on Trek 1500. [Cycling] An LCC ride. I rode from home to meet at LLBC at 7:00. Three of us took another friend on an easy ride to celebrate his recent silver medal at a world level triathlon in Canada a few weeks ago. We rode up to Ardmore at an easy pace, at the breakfast buffet at the Fried Green Tomato restaurant, and rode back. At that point, I had about 41 miles. I started home and decided to loop out for more mileage and few rolling hills. Temps were 70 to 80 deg F. Winds were W and SW 3 to 8 mph. It was a bit misty early, but cleared off to mostly cloudy with some sun, later.
51.18 mi in 02:43:31 hours at 18.78 mi/h on Trek 1500. [Cycling] I rode with a triathlete friend today. He did 6mi/1mi bike/runs while I did 6mi/3mi bike loops. We did three sets overall synching up between laps. This was a good interesting workout for me. It made me want to consider running. Maybe after I lose a little more weight, I'll give it a try, again - my left knee doesn't tolerate it very well. After our workout, we did an easy 3mi cool down just to talk. After that, we talked a good while, so there's a time dropout there. After leaving him, I did another 15mi at moderate-to-hard just to get in 50 for the day. For some reason, my GPS unit shut off at about 45 mi. I caught it quickly, and just turned it on, again - seemed OK after that. I'm wondering if I hit a bump on a county bridge edge that somehow caused it. Looks like it messed up the calories calculation Temps mid 70s to mid 80s, winds SW 3 to 8 mph.
28.37 mi in 01:20:36 hours at 21.12 mi/h on Trek 1500. [Cycling] New PR tonight - first ride with average speed over 21 mph. This was the RSA Tuesday evening ride. We had a good size group, but not as fast as the last couple of Thursday evenings. I was a big dawg tonight. I pulled the front several times.
44.11 mi in 02:29:03 hours at 17.76 mi/h on Trek 1500. [Cycling] It was windy and I forgot to take food. So, I bonked hard at about 35 miles, making the last 9 miles pretty tough. I did not feel well all evening after this ride.
