27 Mile Ride
Today, I wanted to ride harder but not long. I started from the house out to 110th and over to Avenue K and end up at Starbucks. My goal was to raise my MPH from about 14-15.5 to over 17. I managed to do 17.4 MPH. I did 27 miles and there was no wind. The best part was sitting at Starbucks with a cup of coffee and a blue-berry muffin. I just added Garmin’s speed and cadence sensor, and I am trying to see how it blends in with the results on Motionbased. Also, I got a new jersey (I need one with pockets). This one is about beer (ale), if you know me, this is me.

The High Desert Cyclist had their 4th Annual Antelope Valley Fall Century. There are three rides the 26 miles, the Metric Century (62 miles), and the full Century (100 miles). Last year I wanted to ride in the century, but the weather was so bad that I rode the metric. I was told only four

I got out on a cold morning. I wanted to ride some 60 plus miles. The weather was cold at the start 60 degree (17 C). The wind was up about 30 miles an hour. It took me two hours to get to the top of Munz Ranch Road. Since, the wind was up, I

To get ready for the AV Fall Century, I wanted to get out and ride some 50 plus miles. For this ride, I was jointed by Dave Schoder and a friend of his. The ride started out late 9:30 and we rode for 3.25 hours and rode 52 miles (82.80 km). We rode up Avenue

It was cool this morning and it was dark. This is the first ride that I had to use my head lamp. Being cool and such, it was hard to get going. I did not petal that hard because my legs felt heavy. Overall, I did about 16.2 MPH average.

I got a chance to ride with Clay Patten on Sunday morning before church. He likes to do hills, and I like going down hills. He hammers the up hills, while I just prod alone. He is about 30 lbs lighter and much stronger, so it is good for me to be challenged. Overall, the

Clay Patten and I talked about riding together, and we want to do the AV Fall Century in October. Clay is a machine. He is very very fit, while I am a guy with some form of fitness that is clearly really different than Clay’s. For the ride, I met Clay at his house and

I had to pick up the 4-Runner from the auto repair place. It was just under 6 miles from work. I rode North and had the wind on West side. It was nice not having the head wind. The average speed was 19.7MPH. I liked it.
