Another New Record

I set another personal record today - over 21 miles in one trip! Read more »

A Slightly Damp Ride

By brock on Sat 29 Aug 2009, 11:11 am

I got drizzled on for the last of my three laps around Haines Point this morning, but hey - I'm up to three laps.

  • Total Distance: 14.64 mi
  • Average Speed: 13.5 mph
  • Max Speed: 26.6 mph, cruising along Independence Ave
  • Total Ride Time: 1:05
  • Calories Burned: about 900

It occurred to me when I got home that I should really be more careful when I'm out riding these days. Not because I'm usually reckless or anything like that, but because I'll look pretty stupid at my wedding in three weeks if I'm in a cast and stitches.

Another Trip Around Haines Point

Did another two laps around Haines Point again tonight - the same ride as Tuesday night, except I didn't get lost in the middle and came straight home after, so it was shorter.

  • Total Distance: 11.88 mi
  • Average Speed: 12 mph
  • Max Speed: 65.9 mph (might be a fluke with my cyclometer, but I doubt it)
  • Total Ride Time: 58 minutes
  • Calories Burned: about 600

Not bad. And it may be TMI, but I can pedal a lot longer than I can sit on a bike saddle. I've got low-end padded bike shorts, and I'm wondering if it would be worth investing in a better pair to make the ride more comfortable.

I Feel Goooood

I haven't been getting as much exercise as I should, and this evening was quite a bit cooler than most we've had lately. It was a perfect evening to ride down to Haines Point, a 3.2 mile loop of well-kept, lightly-trafficked pavement that local bikers use to train.

I got passed a lot while I was there by much more fashionable and trim individuals wearing much flashier outfits, but I still managed two laps. Read more »
