Anybody been riding lately? Or are we all glued to the radio...

Or Teeee-Veeee or the Internets....

I went for a 22-miler yesterday. Needed to back away and avoid going into information overload.

Used the time to mull over how to compose a letter to my Congresscritter that didn't use the phrase "Testicles in a Teacup".....

Oh, 22 in 1:45, BTW....

1. I last rode on Thursday

but will be back at it tomorrow when I attempt to do both legs of my commute in one day, instead of the one-way commute that is currently "messed up" by Labor Day. :) It takes me about 1:30 to do the 14.5 miles so that will be three hours of cycling tomorrow! Should go a long way toward further breaking in my Brooks. :)

2. You really rock.

Has anybody told you that lately?
Newbie to 14.5-mile commuter w/a Brooks saddle in one summer.
Awesome!

3. Gosh, thanks, BigJawn!

But it's because of information and especially support that I initially found here when this group formed. Y'all made me feel like I could do it! Thanks! :hi:

4. After dealing with surgery and bad bout of asthma

I'm finally back in the saddle again. I rode 65 miles yesterday and hope to get in a centrury before the season ends. We'll see.

It actually made me depressed not to be able to ride.

6. Got to get that endorphine fix

I'm up to about 100 mi/week and if I miss more than a few days, *I* don't even want to be around me

[BiggJawn]

7. Not bad...

65 miles after being on the DL for so long...Maybe I should try surgery....(NOT!)

Glad you're back!

5. Hey, with gas prices these days...

I've been riding everywhere. Work, errands, etc. Though I do have a century I need to get ready for.

8. Started commuting a few days a week

Half riding/half bus. I would ride the whole way but the two roads I have as options are way to dangerous. I hate riding past those little memorials on the side of the road.

9. My 15 mile "half commutes" have been challenging me

I ride home from work one day and ride back the next morning. I am kind of tired.

[Gregorian]

10. Yep.

I'm lucky to have a house on the edge of a forest. My daily forest ride is 17 miles, 1700 feet of climbing, and it takes 1 hour 50 minutes. And there's a ripping hellraiser of a downhill that always ends with a huge grin.


But today I feel lost. I'm tired. I'm sad. I miss the days of riding with friends. But tomorrow will be another day. Hopefully things will look up.

11. I biked to work a couple of weeks ago.

Since everyone else at the residence was vacationing, I took the opportunity biking to work. I loved it. Though it made one long-ass day...leaving at 0515 and arriving home at 1830.
