Out of shape

T his morning after breakfast I started out on my second ride of the season and found out that I am in piss poor shape. After eight miles I got a cramp in my left leg but decided that if I stopped on the hill I would never make it up. I rode through the pain and by the top of the hill the pain was gone. I continued on my ride and ended with 10.31 miles under my belt. I burnt 440 calories and rode at an average speed of 11.5 mph and a max speed of 19.5 mph. It truly felt great to be out on the trike again. The weather was a comfortable 73 degrees with a breeze from the ENE at 8 Mph with localized higher speeds. Seemed like the wind was in my face on every hill. Par for the course. O n the mechanical side of the ride everything was working fine and no problems foreseen. When I got back home I brought the Garmin Edge 305 to the iMac to upload my info to the Garmin training center and MotionBased. I had no problems everything went as planned and my info was saved. I next went to Garmin Con

I am back after a long winter

T his morning was used for a shake down ride to make sure everything on the Black Widow was in proper working order. I am happy to report everything seems fine. I rode a just 6.20 miles in 31 minutes and burnt 260 calories. I gained 322 feet in elevation and my average HR was 144Bpm.
