    Finally got off my fat ass and took a ride.

    2020-06-07-15-34-17-Afternoon-Ride-Ride-Strava.jpg

    It has been a few years since I did this. I was feeling good the entire time. It was hot so i consumed more than 1/2 of a 16 oz water bottle on the ride.

    I am going to do this humble route every day, for a week. Then bump it up to 10 miles maybe 15 depending on how a feel for q week. I will be back doing 20-30 miles a day in a month or less.

    Back in the saddle baby!

      Good Job, Mark. I got out my bike as well though I haven't actually ridden yet. I need to do some maintenance - replace the brake pads and such.

        Nice, Mark! No biking for me, but I'm doing martial arts again. I stopped at the dragon pole way back in the day, so I'm doing forms again, getting my flexibility and fitness back up, and learning the pole. I go out daily.

          Went from the 7 mile straight to a 21 mile today.

          Man! This feels great. Legs are definitely sore. Some nice hills on this ride.

            Yesterday's ride was a new record in terms of elevation for me.

            This is the area where I rode. Man, that was beautiful.

              That´s great, Mark! Sore legs is a great feeling.

              Klaus, I´m jealous of those views, but that looks like some tough biking.

              I really do miss biking sometimes. I stopped doing it when I moved out of the country and never got back into it, mostly because of my dog (she runs/hikes/kayaks with me). My plan is to get one of those bike trailer things for kids when she can´t run with me anymore and take her out on rides. We´re not quite there yet, but at almost-10 years old I´m guessing we´re not too far off. In the meantime, I do still want to get my bike (my trusty old steel-frame Miyata touring bike) tuned up and start getting back into it. At this point, though, it probably needs a lot more than a tune-up.

                I’ve always thought it depends on why they’re sore.

                The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

                    Wow Klaus! Awesome ride. I will get back to that level soon enough. Today was a stretch for sure. But the bar has been set.

                            @Klaus The fan is a nice touch.

                            It will make you look like you are going faster.

                                Where was that when I visited? One of the emptyish rooms downstairs?

                                  If I remember correctly, Ms. NYC spent the night in that room.

                                    @Klaus Do you have some program that shows a bike race that you follow along with?

                                      I have a feeling Klaus knows his way around Zwift island.

                                      Please love yourself.

                                        Yes, I'm using Zwift right now. I'm not sure whether it's the best program for what I have in mind. I don't really care for the "social" aspect of Zwift. I don't want to race. I want to do structured training.

                                          Hey @Rich, are you going crazy with your runs? Multiple runs of 10+ miles a day in a tempo I couldn't even hold for 3 miles?
