I hate chip seal

Image
Most of the streets near my home have been repaired or resurfaced with cheapseal and it just makes for a horrible rough ride. Not only rough there is lots of debrie that sticks to the soft surface. Not only does it slow the ride it forces you to bwe looking at the road ahead for naything to flatten my tires. There are a few roads here that were repaired and the patches are real smooth asphalt. Love those roads! I road 11.60 miles in very hot sticky weather, but still a great ride..

Just a beautiful day for a ride or naything else

I didn't ride yesterday and I missed the feeling of freedom. Today I wanted to ride longer but I had things I had to do. So I rode my usual ride and headed home. Uneventful ride but loved every second.

Shorter ride, but nice windy day

I rode today in some very strong winds, but had a good workout. Nothing more to say than I am in pain as I got something in my eye. What a pain in the XXX.

Nice ride, but some knee pain

Image
Yesterday I spent a few hours installing a foam mat under my furnace. So inorder to do this I was on my left knee for a while. I woke up with a sore knee, but that didn't stop me from riding. After the first mile my knee felt good, so I continued for another 9.5 miles.

Shorter ride than usual!

Today I intended to ride my usual ride, but my body just couldn't handle it. I didn't sleep well and when I got up this morning I was drained. But I knew if I didn't get out and ride, I would be worse off the rest of the day. I rode 8.67 miles then I headed home. I am glad I did ride.

Nice ride, but I was exhausted

Image
Yesterday I had a very active day, and it took it's toll on my body. I woke this morning extremly tired, but I still headed out for my daily ride. I rode a bit over 10 miles in nice weather.

Just a beautiful day for a ride

Today was just a fantastic day to hit the road. The weather was just beautiful and clear. The temperature was around 72 degrees, but laying down with the sun beating on me it felt hotter. I rode about 11.50 miles at a leasuring pace. The only problem was that people in cars feel they own the road and do stupid things. I won't even get into that as I might blow a gasket. Time to hit the gym for a strenght building session.

Cloudy and cool day, great riding

Image
I rode 10.67 miles this morning under very cloudy and threatning skies. The ride was just great, I feel so good after a ride like this. I did find my recumbent legs need a lot of work as certain up hills were painfull. All in all I loved every minute.

After the storm

Image
Last night we had some very severe thunder storms and many branches have fallen. My ride was like an obstacle course, as I was dodging those fallen branches.

Ride before the Thunder Storms

Image
I set out early as thunder storms are predicted. I didn't want to be out in the open with no shelter. I rode 10.67 miles and I feel just great.

Into the frying pan!

Image
This morning I rode outside my usual path and explored streets and roads I have never seen. The only problem today was the excessive heat. It was 86 degrees at times.
