Bike Ride VI
Week of records, some good some good, but still exercising!!!! This week a couple of my boys and I took their little sister to the gas station to get some ice cream. This was a not so good record for me getting only 8 MPH but I am sure a record for my two 6 year olds.
This week, I was talking to my brother-in-law about possibly biking in the Titletown Bike Tour . Since he is a cyclist, he was up for the 100K (62 miles). This was not what I had in mind but always up for a challenage, but am I up for the training? As you can see 10 miles a couple of times a week is not going to get me ready for 62 miles. My speed also needs to increase to keep up the the in-law. So today I tried increasing my miles, so I doulbed it! A little agressive but it was actually a really good ride. The really good news is I did not loose much speed!!!!! Keep you posted as test the waters to see if I really want to train for this.

Bike Ride V
A littile miss leading on the title becuase I have been biking since my last post , just not posting the resutls. There has been something consistant in these rides which is going a new route. All of these rides have been going North & South. A little nicer road and a change of scenery.

Bike Ride IV
Short ride this morning, just could not get out of bed. I have to start going to bed earlier. Good ride just need to get 30 minutes or more in.
Today's bike ride was 7.3 miles in 27:03 Average 16.19.
Weekend away & some biking
This weekend we went up "north" to my father-in-law's cabin in Mountain . Today we got to take some tire tubs down the Oconto Rivier , it was a 30 minute ride and very relaxing. Got a chance to go for a bike ride with the boys twice both lasting just over 2 miles. So no record times on the bike but a nice ride with the boys. We also started a 1000 piece puzzle last night and finished it this morning.
Bike Ride III
The first half of today's ride at 6:15 AM was great, but on the way back home it was hell. I just could not find any spark, maybe I pushed it a little hard on the first leg. It was very cold this morning, just a thin short sleeved shirt, and my belly was very cold. Will have to check the temperature next time.
Today's bike ride was 10.4 miles in 40:40 Average: 15.34
Bike Ride II
I was supposed to bike on Saturday but I was up early to help a friend with some landscaping for a pool he just purchased.
Today's bike ride was 10.5 miles in 39:0 Average: 16.11
Here is my bike
Bike Ride I
I have been biking every other day for about two weeks. I am using a bike that I bought when I was 14, and used it for my paper route and one summer I biked. But since then it has sat in the basement. My neigbhor and brother-in-law have been biking and have been incouraging me to also.
Today's bike ride was 9.4 miles in 35:43 Average 15.79.
