Dying on Zwift
The weather was looking better today but I felt like punishing myself with the 3R group on Zwift. I quickly fell far behind but I finished. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9 on a Wahoo Kickr Smart Trainer

Cold and Rainey
I keep thinking I’ll put my Zwift subscription on hold and then it pours rain and gets cold. We need the water and the rain keeps the trails from turning into a dusty mess so I won’t complain. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9
Morning Rounds
My brain knew the morning schedule was going to be tight and woke me up plenty early in the morning for me to try to blow up my heart on the suffer circles. It doesn’t happen often but I ran across another guy on a star destroyer grey Ripmo. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
Rolling through God’s gardens

Making connections. Seeing Stars
Rode a few suffer circles and then took a short jaunt down the shoreline trail. Had a bit of blurred vision and euphoria during the ride that left me less than accurate in the technical bits.

It’s Like Paradise
Had serious leg crams last night as my quads and hamstring got revenge for what I put them through on the MTB. Today we compromised and took a recovery ride to Paradise. The sun shone, the temperature was a perfect 70 degrees and there was but a gentile breeze. It’s hard to pick better road bike days. If it wasn’t for meetings and complaining legs
I’m just here for the yard sale
I tried pushing it just a bit today and managed to score a PR on the upper suffer circles. At the top of the trail there was a youth group with bikes, helmets, bags and people spread everywhere. I know that crowded trails can become a problem but I love to see people get out into the outdoors. I think it makes us all better.
