Hey y'all,
I rode today (1/11/09) from Scooter's. Waited for other fools to show up, but none did. I rode my cross bike and knobbies from home to Scooters. A little wet. Then Scooter's to 60th Street and north. The street wasn't bad, but the brutal hills and the 23 rear cog didn't help. Headed east to Ponca road. Good shape. Then south on 36th Street. Need the hills to prep for Horribly Hilly Hundreds (june) and the Triple Bypass (july) rides.
Under Mormon Bridge and by airport to Kerry Pedestrian Bridge and over to Iowa. Then back to Old Market. Came home on hilly California Street. Probably 25 miles or so. When I left temp was 29F, when I got home it was 31F. So much for forecast highs of 35-40 degrees.
I got in much-needed high-tempo ride. Snow predicted again for tomorrow.
New Year's resolution is to eat less, work out more. Gonna cut back on heavy lifting now, start dropping weight to get to 180ish by March. Need to get to fighting weight of 175 by race season. Hit high of 189 during this offseason. New Year's resolution is working so far....down to 182 this morning.
Give me a holler anytime you wanna ride. We will set up a team meeting soon. If you would like to come to one of my spinning classes (Saturday 8 AM at S/SW YMCA 132nd and Center OR Wednesday evening 615 PM at Maple YMCA 75th and Maple St.). I'll line you up with a guest pass. Classes last 45 minutes. I'm also contemplating doing the indoor Trek trainer classes as advertised on Nebraska Cycling News.
