More Peloton rides for me!
Drove to Houston for a week of business appointments. Last year, I splurged on a second Peloton so I could have one at both places. I'm doing SoulCycle with my daughter Saturday which will be a nice change of pace. Planning on buying cruiser bikes for riding in the summer in Colorado. There are some nice bike paths in the nearby town of Ridgway. The bike path in Telluride isn't in great shape and the roads are very hilly, but it is a mountain biker's paradise. Unfortunately, not my jam, but it will be good to be outdoors on the cruisers.

Y’all’s commitment and consistency impresses me daily. Between the rain, a 2-day search & rescue callout (that’s me with the yellow helmet in the middle), the resulting poison oak reaction, and a couple nights out with friends, I’m off my game, off the bike, and feeling lethargic. Nonetheless, I got up early and hopped on the exercise bike. 2 workouts strung together for 10 miles And done ✅
YTD 331.8/2023
More travel coming up, so it’s going to be a challenge, but that’s why we are here, right?!

Woo, nothing going on in my area of the world. Makes it easy to get on the bike. Kudos to those of you with actual busy lives that're still killin' this!!
Workout today. Over/Unders. Brutal when your legs are still jelly from the day before lol - and I /still have a run today/ because the Tour of Watopia's going on in Zwift, and I do both disciplines on it. Aaaargh.

Didn't get my chores done in a timely enough fashion to get an imperial century in (watching Paris-Nice and being lazy as hell lol). Did a metric instead. Maybe I'll do an imperial next week.

I think that's my cycling for this week as I want to get a few runs done but if the weather stays bad I'll be back on my bike. We didn't get as much snow as most places but the temperatures are freezing
I'm planning to go swimming tomorrow morning but again it will depend on how icy the roads are.
Gave a good weekend everyone!

To any who are curious, the writeup on this workout in Strava may be amusing lol
A Zwift workout done after hours. I am murdering the bottom bracket of that old '72 Schwinn of mine. I think next week I'll have to find a good block of time to dismantle it and get some new grease in there. Tightening the chainring bolts stopped the vast majority of the rumble and the gear-wobble, though!! (however, it's friction shifting - sometimes it does enjoy choosing new gears for me on the fly)

After 10 days off the bike I thought it would be a great idea to jump in a gravel race. I'm not too smart, haha.
Felt great the first 55 miles then had some cramping issues which were made worse by the constant climbs. For most of race I was in a group with 3-4 tri-dudes... these guys love to motor on the flats but always climb slow. Perfect for me. George Hincapie and Bobby Julich were also in the race but lets just say I was a bit behind them... 😎

@SavageMrsMoose Just comes with having the capability to get on the bike every day!
I think those of you who don't have that flexibility in your schedules and/or attack multiple disciplines are much more amazing, truth be told.
@Rich_SC I WANNA DO IT!!! I WANNA DO IT!!!! (unfortunately it's not in the right area of the state and my schedule's not quite /that/ open) GAH THEY NEED TO JUST HAVE HAPPY SPORTIVE RIDES IN THE FRANCIS MARION FORST GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH (yes, I'm done freaking out lol - but seriously, that looks like grand fun!!)
Bah, just another 10 mile Zwift ride here. At least on the 25th I'm actually getting one of my bikes out to ride outside! Doing the Tour de Lowcountry in Colleton County. Thinking I'm taking my steel vintage race bike to that one - Colleton County's roads are notoriously terrible. Last year I did it on carbon fiber, but my body was punishing me for days after (it was the fastest I'd ever done that ride, yes, but the physical toll was extreme).

You people with your exciting races!!!
I did a Soulcycle with my daughter yesterday. It was fun but I still can't hear normally the music was so loud. Should have used the earplugs.

Previous total (March 5th): 348.0 miles (560.1k)
This week (up to March 12th): 53.6 miles (86.5 k)
Took the long cycling route to work four times this week and did 2 Zwift workouts today:
- Rainbow in Makuri Islands: https://www.strava.com/activities/8701812581
- 20 -40's on Mountainroute in Watopia: https://www.strava.com/activities/8701430123
New total (March 12th): 401.8 miles (646.6 km)
Finished the week ahead of the annual plan for the first time (8.3 miles). Quite happy, after starting a little late, lots of bad weather, attracting COVID and some other challenges. Let the spring begin

Bah, reminds me that I have to pester my LBS to see if my gravel bike's bottom bracket finally came in. And get my Panasonic prepped for the 25th's metric century. And schedule my Zwift workouts around a Zwift imperial century (planned for Wednesday, because why not? Weather's supposed to be crap anyway lol)
Daily 10 plus a smidge more because the 10 ended on a virtual descent.
