Hey gang, A commute day for me. Lovely warm morning, and had a decent long ride in. Unfortunately, some sprinkles and showers popped up just before heading home, so had a short, wet ride back (11+ miles). Looking forward to a day off work tomorrow. Time to clean the bike. Weather for Saturday doesn't look great - but not absolutely miserable either. Might be a threat of coastal flooding though, so not sure if that'll impact it. Guess we'll see.. Hope you're having a good week! Geo ..read more

Nothing again today, vacation-lag and just not motivated...plus had to catch up on what I missed at work. Congrats to you Yo and DH on 29 years! Chilean Sea Bass, huh? Whenever I hear that, I think of Jurassic Park lol ..read more

What a beautiful fall weekend! Sat was Trail Trail Challenge, a mtb tour where three trails systems are connected to each other (some connector sections allow cyclists only this Friday and Sat) to make the total 49miles! We have been doing this for many years, though I haven’t done the complete routes for the last few yrs. I always started with DH, burned up my legs by mid point thus taking a shortcut. Well, this time a GF organized the group ride and she kept us in check to take it easy... Sept 14-15 weekend - workouts ..read more

Hot over here as well (no swimming though) - but this morning was pretty brisk. Long commute both ways (in the high 40's on the way in, underdressed! and mid 70's on the way home). Geo ..read more

Prayers to all whose lives changed forever on that day. Wish rhepeace to the world. Low grade headache continued to annoy me today. It was a good thing that o didn’t feel it during the two hours mtg with a customer. I already planned to swim in a lake this hottest day of the week…. There was a bit of worries so at least I swam in a lake where I knew people wee around. 2000yds. Boy water was cold. All went well ..read more

or not....something messed with my stomach saturday night into Sunday and still lingering today...so I bailed. I was all set to stop at SAG #2 (dunkin donuts), but hubby wanted me to ride with him to get 60 miles total...same guy who crashed in the beginning of August and had only been out on the road once for 15 miles on his new bike before this. after much cajoling, I agreed, but was not happy at all, since those miles (7.5) are all uphill! and I had nothing left in the tank...but did... Monday, Sept 9 - Workouts ..read more

Hi! Saturday was a totally bluh day. After riding 15miles or so Friday night, I developed a bad headache. That lasted into Sat. So all I got was 1hr (about 3.2 miles) x 2 walks. Nice and quiet day as DH headed to Chicago before Monday to go Octoberfest with DS/fiancée and some kind of big steam engine train event…. Hope you two have fun riding! Post the meetup pic here ..read more

Welp, out on the road for short loop to see how the legs are doing. I adjusted my seat slightly and used the new bike shoes, while not where I would love to be for pace, definitely up and felt easier (as in no significant leg fatigue, which is what I have been experiencing for a while now). Tmr going to be a rest day, packing and getting stuff done before heading to NH for the RIZO ride. Geo - will be good to see you again! Yo - loved the pics on FB ..read more

Hey gang, Glad you had a good trip, Yo! (and didn't do the extra-challenging hike). Got out for 23+ miles after work today - pleasant evening. Weather's still looking pretty decent for Rizo, Zoj ... hope DH is happy with new bike. I assume same time/same place 9 AM by that covered bridge hotel, right? If shower chances remain slim, I'll probably be up... Geo ..read more
