1hr 58m hilly ride yesterday, zone 6 intervals. Took backpack with weights in (extra 7lbs) to make up for my weight loss since Jan 1 I will get my legs stronger, I will.....

Hey folks, how about posting some photos here of your rides so we can see a little of your scenery. Nice pics on your blog CHR15. Oast houses look good. I took two yesterday but can't get the size right to post

Good morning Jouster Peeps.  Working from home today, so I plan on getting midday ride in.  Might be on the trainer again as it is windy and I don't have a riding partner, but hey is , right?

Julie, wow, scary about the firetrucks.  Glad it was not you, sorry about your neighbor.

Lynne, 25 days to go.  No skipping out to Scotland before you get your biking done.  LOL

Lyssa, good to be on a team with you again.

Frank, you better get on the bicycle and off the motorcycle.  I don't think that time counts.

And a big shoutout to everyone else.  I'll get to know you if I don't already,  Falling Off Chair Laughing

 

 Have A Nice Day

I did my first bike commute of 2008. We had a bunch of rain overnight, but the morning is gorgeous. The roads were a bit wet, but not too bad. Fun!

I definitely see fenders as my next purchase!

New construction/traffic patterns on a few roads may have me looking for some alternative routes.

Nicole, how far is your commute? That is so cool that you can commute to work via bike. I could never do that for a couple of reasons.

1. the road to work is so dangerous. They are in the process of widening it and maybe that will help.
2. I sweat and don't have a shower at the library. I don't think that they will put one in for me either.
3. My work clothes are not condusive to biking. Now I could change, but then there is the matter of #2
4. No place to change. I could close my office door, but even that is not always safe.
5. Just trying to get a number five so that I can go to...#
6.
7. The traffic on the road is wild. They like to run bikes off the road.

Will you share your html for the Jouster chart you have on your log? I really like it.

Thanks.

ScotinSeattle - 2008-03-02 9:54 PM I am going to attempt to ride a little during the day. My calves are so tight right now though. Ouch.

This is a tight calf...



So, when we see someone with a ring in their nose, we should tie a rope to it and lead them around?

Deoderising 'wet wipes' work nearly as well as a shower...

Um, did someone tell you that or did you decide that?  I don't think it's "nearly" as well....LOL

Seriously, whatever works!  I used to commute 14 miles each way back in the old days....riding my mountain bike--the last two miles were all uphill with no breaks.  I had no idea how much easier it would be with a lighter bike!  Luckily I had a shower across the hall from my office.  Even further back in history I commuted by bike, but not as far.  I don't remember even being that sweaty....but was probably gross, now that I think about it! 

I am heading out in a half hour, although it's still only 32 degrees out!!!  Gorgeous and sunny though!  I don't want to haul my camera with me this morning or I'd take pix.  I may change my mind on that.....gotta go get dressed now....

My commute is just under 10 miles each way. It took me about 42 minutes this morning. I'm lucky that we've got showers and lockers in the basement bathroom so #s 2-4 are taken care of. They even put in a bike rack about a month or so ago; unfortunately, it's not under cover. The roads and drivers are a bit crazy, but they rarely bother me. I did have someone lay on the horn behind me; I just gave him a nice friendly wave.

morning peeps.
sorry i bailed on you last night julie, dh got a little frisky. LOL ok in truth, we were actually wrestling. i know i know, sounds otherwise, but it just ain't true. we were actually wrestling. dh is a nut. he has to take a DT (defensive tactics) course every year, and then he comes home and practices on me, and i think i'm all big and tough, so i pretend to give him a workout. LOL

anyway, no more peeps, and i'm going to have to lay off the irish cream for a day or two, i'm ALL sugared out.

thinking of heading out for a ride-or a run-or both. might take my camera out just for kicks. just finished b-fast mmmmmmm bagels with cream cheese, and sausage. need to finish my coffee, then maybe i'll get out the door.

i MAY have had on VS, but it WAS under everything else.

no pace car today, well, i don't know, maybe i'll be able to talk him in to it, but that will probably be later this afternoon,
he's supposed to be getting me a can of that OC spray from work, but of COUSE i haven't seen it yet, so i think i'm out in the big wide world all alone today.
our 10th anniversary is coming up on the 15th (beware the ides of march ) and he asked me last night if i wanted another gift card to VS. hmmmmmmm. interesting. it HAS been like a WEEK since i got any new VS. it SEEMS like it's time.

anyway, between our anniversary, and my b-day coming up (day BEFORE cat's ACTUAL birthday LOL) maybe i can talk him in to getting me a new bike!! yeah, that's it!! that's a great plan!!

what are YOU doing today my sistah?? how's your neighbor this morning?

I commuted to work by bike too back in the late 80's early 90's.  I did that till I was hit by a car, after that not so much.  Twice a week I would bike from work to the pool afterwards, then I'd bike home. God I was SO fit (And skinny)  Ah I long for those days.

 

I'm going to spin for another 35 minutes tonight.

I love that there is of course no number 6!

I did that a couple of times when I was training for my century and had an allergic reaction. So, wet wipes are a no go.
