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.

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 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.
