    The bike shop forgot to order the part for my front derailer. Have to wait another week before I can go out riding. (Estimated 3 days of shipping then a 3 day set of 12s). It was painful going to the gym to ride an Indoor trainer when it's 10°C and stunning sunshine.
    15miles rode for a total of 26.

    @ashleycarole86 It was a 60 minute endurance ride with him, but it wasn't live. I wonder if he just scrolls through his classes and looks for people? The ride was with people in studio in NYC on a day I was actually in NYC. If I'd known, I would have tried to ride in studio. I've never done that. I hear it is really hard to get a spot. BTW - congrats on your big loss this week! I'm on team Shape Shifters. I saw your name in the results!



    4/2 9.6 miles 30 minute Peloton with Sam Yo, plus 5 minute cool down

    Thanks! It feels a bit blah overall because I've gained in the past couple months, but I've gotta start somewhere! Appreciate you saying that!

    Done with makeup rides! Did a workout that ended up being heinous in Zwift (not that it was hard - it had a terrible cadence for me. My comfort zone is /not/ 85rpm - it's 70. So this was VERY awkward). Then decided 'ya know, it's a nice day outside! The Bianchi hasn't been washed yet, so let's have at it!' So we had at it.

    Forgot to start Strava for the first 5.5 miles of it, though. And if it ain't on Strava, it never happened... so a 16+ mile ride is recorded as 11. Oh well!! More calorie burn for me!!

    @wendsg you continue to amaze and amuse me, in equal measure.

    I’m back in the grove it seems, getting up and out for my morning rides when my schedule allows.

    @wendsg I agree with @billbiggers06 ! You are very funny! And amazing! I'm so impressed with your workouts! You really would be amazing in an Ironman.

    @wendsg I’m a terrible low rpm’er too. I always plan to work on it but it never quite happens. I blame years of grinding out 65rpm in spin class.

    Final stage of ToW completed today, although only the short route, probably do the long one Friday. Felt amazing to ride on rested legs after 2 days off cycling.

    All y'all flatter me. I'm glad I am entertaining - just hope I'm also motivating! (seems to work, though - you guys are making excellent progress!!)

    Screw Zwift and its tattling on my low RPM today! It was lovely outside, and since I actually washed the Bianchi last night, I broke out the old reliable steel 1986 Panasonic DX-3000 and took it on a spin. Did some interval training... kind of. Ended up interrupting almost every sprint due to (a) pedestrians, (b) golf carts, (c) running out of road, (d) cars crossing the trail. So sprint intervals were... kind of there? Except not? (aka: interval training will be relegated to Zwift only, because there I won't ram into a golf cart mid-sprint.)

    Whatever! It was sunny, winds were there but were crossing so it wasn't terrible, and I had a good time. Working on my tan, too. 🤪

    No meetings until 11 today so I got a bit more ride in. Rode a few new stretches, enjoying redwoods, streams, and gorgeous, $10M homes.

    @billbiggers06 I wish I had a spare few M to move in there!

    Totally wasn’t feeling it today, solely rode Zwift to burn calories. Warm up, short workout called ‘Micro Wave’ followed by a short Cooldown.

    Zwifting today - too many chores to do to allocate the time to the grand outdoors. Murder-feline decided to be a stair-hazard on the way out of the room when done.

    @billbiggers06 just a cool 125 million? Everyone needs a property like that one! It is beautiful!

    Did a bunch of rides on the Peloton today. Trying to get to 50 for the week. Got off and realized I was 1.31 miles short! UGHH! Too tired to get back on the bike. I did a really hard tempo run this morning. It was all I had. I still have tomorrow and Saturday to get a few miles in before I head to Lisbon on Sunday. Still need to run 10 more miles too.

    4/6 Peloton 26.85- a collection of low impact and endurance rides
