Tough ride this morning as the wind was blowing in my face. On top of the tired legs from last night's efforts.

Took it pretty easy though, as you can see by the HR average. That's pretty low...even for me. :o

Hauling ASS tonight... Sweetums wanted me home on time, so I had to rush home. Fortunately for me, the wind was a tailwind... or helping wind. This was definitely hard work as my legs just don't like the hills anymore... I am going to have to ride a LOT more to get those climbing legs back.

I think I will have to do this type of ride home every week, at least once, in order to get the strength back. I did get the HR up today, but it could be a lot higher. I think I need to work on getting the LT higher, because there rarely is much difference between my Max HR and the average.

Took Xena into work this morning, so that I could ride her tonight with the WCC Tuesday ride. Was a little wet this morning, so she got dirty... but it was a nice morning.

I took it VERY easy this morning so as to have good fresh legs tonight.

Got to work to a very full inbox, so forgot to enter my info... no idea what the HR was. I'm guessing in the low 110's.

So... my bike computer doesn't work... the cell phone battery was dieing, so I turned off the MapMyRide App... and therefore have no idea how far I biked tonight. Rode from work to the Club ride start point... approx. 21 km (in 50 min... nice and easy to have legs for the pain to come).

At the beginning of the ride, I decided to ride with Group 4... I would normally ride 2 or 3... and was doing pretty well, except for an annoying noise on my bike. I had to pull over and figure it out. Turns out the magnet was rubbing against the frame, because the spoke was twisted a little. STraightened it out and was quiet... but I lost the group, so dropped back with group 5. I think that was a good choice, they were a little slow, but this allowed me to take the hills easier. I was starting to fade already with Group 4, but would have been able to finish with them... just would have been in more pain.

Did the loop and when they decided to take a different way back to the start, I headed home alone.

HR is so low, because I left it running when I got to the parking lot. My HR at rest is in the low 60's... so really takes the average down if it is left running. I wasn't working overly hard on the group ride though... I could go MUCH faster... although my legs fade on the hills.

Just had enough time to do a short 20-30 minute run, so I put on my gear and did the short block. Had to reign in my horses though, as I went out pretty quickly. After getting things under control, it was a pretty easy run... the long uphill stretch didn't feel as hard and I had lots left in the tank at the end that I picked up the pace for the last 50m. Not a run, but a faster jog. Strength is coming back slowly.

As is per normal, my brain woke up at 6:30 a.m.... and the sun was shining so I couldn't get back to sleep. Decided to get up and go out for a ride. It looked like a lovely morning, but it was C-C-C-COLD... -3*C when I started riding, +9 when I finished. I didn't mind though, I was dressed for it and just rode out into the wind for an hour, and 40 minutes coming back. I could have gone a little longer, but we have to drive down to T.O. this afternoon to p/u #1's stuff at his apartment. I didn't want to wear myself out too much riding. Felt pretty good, although I can still feel it on the climbs, my legs are not as strong as they were. I don't know if they will ever come back, but I am ok with what I have... I can still ride long periods, I just need to maintain an easier level of effort.

Another short block run... this time it was more like a run. Full jog, no easing up at all. Felt pretty good until the long straight stretch, going up (it's about a 10m climb over 1.5km). This isn't hard, just harder. ;)

Not enough time today for anything longer, so figured this is what needed to be done. :)

Lovely morning ride with a significant tailwind... I could tell because I was cruising along over 30 km/h in small gears and not even working that hard. :o One incline that I normally have to work to maintain 30 km/h, I was ascending at 40km/h... was very cool!! The payback will be tonight going home INTO that wind, except it will be stronger.

Cold this morning though... so much for late spring weather... it's more like early spring. Seems we got the seasons mirrored... coming in hot and going out cold. Bizarre weather.

Evening commute ... into the wind... eeeep! :o

O-M-G... that was an ugly ride. I was under dressed, as I thought it was warmer, but the wind was extra bitter tonight and in my face all the way home. Made for a rather uncomfortable time, but I perservered.... I could have stopped at any point and put on an extra layer, but figured that would have just made me later... already left work 15 minutes later then I wanted to (so much work :( ). So I just cranked up the effort level and warmed up that way.

Kept the intensity level pretty steady, trying to keep the cadence around 85-90. I took a zig-zag route home... to minimize the length of each northern direction leg. I could have taken one more zig, but decided to take it over the sandhill into town... just for the "fun" of it. Cycling INTO the wind going up the overpass, then immediately after up another nasty ascent, really gets the legs burning. Good times!
