Gingerbread Angels: The scariest biker group in Peep Town (Page 4)

Way to get the hour in!!

I had that same "problem" the first time I logged in.  If I remember correctly, there was something in the upper right corner that allowed you to make changes - just had to do it the first time.  I posted yours tonight.

Hey Gingerbread Angels

 I slept walked through the first few days this month .  And asked SuperCAt to place me with a great group .....   So here i am joining youz  late.

Anyhow  it will be

200 miles or Dust  for me .   That will be  mon challenge ..

Oh and reading through I forgot to mention 

 I have been doing this 4 years , lost some weight and really enjoy the sport .

 I play ice hockey  and i feel the triathlete training has helped  immensely

improve my fitness and health.   I live in the LA area so am blessed with some great 

weather  and fabulous facilities   and challenging terrain  . 

We Had the pleasure of checking out the Tour of California in person last week

and of course We were  amazed and inspired at the fitness and speed of the Worlds Best Pro riders.  

Hope you got some rest in that sleepwalking stage.  Welcome to the team, it should be a great month. 

Since "someone" brought up the week getting wiped out  

What does everyone have on tap for training/riding the rest of the week and the weekend?

I have a 45 minute trainer ride slated for tomorrow,
Long run Friday,
Hopefully a nice 2.5 hour ride outside on Saturday (supposed to be low 50's - much colder than last Saturday, but better than some)
Then wrap up the week with an easy 4 mile run and another 45 minutes on the bike - probably trainer, but if I can get outside I will!!!.

10 mile run today...legs are tired!

How cool to see the world's pros and humbling I'm sure as well. Next month I'm taking a bike racing clinic..classroom and then 4 Saturday's with 3 hours of riding skills and drills. I did a couple crits last June and crashed badly in one so I want to learn how to ride better in a pack.

You are lucky to have great weather to train in. I went to college in LA...Occidental College (Obama was in my graduating class).

Happy riding..very little rain you can ride almost every day you want too! Lucky you

Kathy - no way! I'm an Oxy grad too! Class of 96. -Rebecca

 So I'm like 13  years older than you

What was your major? Mine was economics..favorite class econometrics! 

I did 8  .5 mile hill repeats..those were challenging in a good way.

I rode around the Patriot Players neighborhood before and around the neighborhood afterwards.

This was hard but building strength..tomorrow is easier ride 40 miles at IM pace but going to ride the hills.

I'm up to 50 miles this month as of today..hope to get to 140 by Sunday. Next week my husband and I are going on a 5 day cruise that he was awarded for doing great job at work.

Ride lots Angels; Have fun doing so!!! 

Do what you can, for yourself and your team!!

Hey all, weekend's almost here.  Does it look good for getting outside and putting some time in the saddle?

 Our forecast dwindled, looks like my temps might get to the mid 40's for Saturday's ride.  Got to go find the tights and other warm weather gear again

I did my brick today...40 miles with last 30 at IM race power..seems pretty slow. I rode all the hard hills that I know..nothing like grinding up a hill in your easiest gear going 5 mph to humble you and have conversation with runner going the same speed.

I rode my Kuota tri bike for first long ride since I had surgery. My body needs adjusting to aero position again. But I love riding aero zipping around corners, flying down hills, it rocks!

5h 33m 47s  - 90.21 Mi for the month so far out of 400 miles

Hey Angels

Hope everyone is doing well .  I took advantage of a  light schedule this week to
ride  long today as i knew i would not  be able to saturday or sunday . I followed  the course from the amgen  stage 7 and found a groove despite the headwind and the mostly uphill course . I turned around after 27.5  or  where the Acton sprint bonus was.  Thats about  1600 feet of  net climbing  over the distance .   After a well earned  refueling stop  at  7-11  .  I literally  flew back home.  With all that very fast downhill   worked on my aero position .

 Good weekend everone

I did another 30 min ride today for a total of 4 rides and 2 hours this week so far. I know my goal is small 8 hours but I am working back into biking after almost a complete year off so I am starting small. I am traveling the last month of March to Alaska to work but I will have a bike available (probably trainer) but I am right on target to make goal with plenty of room if we get to up our goal like we could last month.

Keep it up everyone. We are doing great.
