It’s already Sunday, where did my weekend go?!? At least I got in two long rides, on Saturday I met up with the UO team group ride outside the bike shop, rode with them for an hour and a half, then continued on with another teammate of mine. The two of us headed out to do Brownsville, we made it up the big hill and turned around as we were going to be over on our time limit of 4 hours, we headed back down Mckenzie view, ate, drank, ate some more and talked about food and what our post-ride activities were going to include. I went home, ate some more food, showered and drained my legs. I was somewhat fatigued going into the ride this morning, headed out from the bike shop again. Bright and early 9:00 am start, we headed out to climb Dillard, Hamm and Lorane. I didn’t realize just how much my legs were going to hate me today. I began the climb feeling alright and things didn’t get any better than that for the rest of the ride. We were moving at a pretty good pace (avg spd 17.5 mph with 2417ft of climbing overall). My HR is slowly getting back to normal (hooray) I averaged 162 over 55 miles which I’m fairly pleased with. Overall, things are looking better in terms of fitness, now if only I can figure out how to bring down my grocery bills to a somewhat reasonable level then I’ll be set. There’s your brief update of this weekend, until next time, cheers.
