Morning’s ride: 40:08 Distance: 12.08 miles I was much less reticent about getting my butt out of bed and riding. I had hoped to ride a little longer than this, but I wanted to make sure I had time to take a shower before I went to work, so I ended it a bit early. [...]

This morning’s ride: 50:00 Distance 0 miles Average cadence: 93 RPM Well, you won’t hear me complaining about my gracilis or my ileopsoas. At least, you probably won’t. What I have, it appears, is a tear of the hip joint’s labrum, on the adductor side. Or something. Basically, the stuff that prevents my femur from [...]

This morning’s ride 45:33 Distance 0 miles Average cadence: 96 RPM I said ‘aaaaahhhh.’ I breathed in through my mouth and out through my nose. Or vice-vera. My chest was thumped. My neck was rubbed. My epiglottis was swabbed. Oh, boy, and isn’t that fun? Inconclusive. There was no sign of blood in my throat. [...]

This morning’s ride: 47:47 Distance: 9.58 miles Average cadence: 91 RPM I dodged a bullet this morning. No, not literally. Not like that car the other day. The bullet in this instance is a metaphor for the weather. The forcast was for rain and a high wind advisory this morning, but neither really appeared on [...]

Sunday’s ride was after sunrise, but more than half of it was in the rain. I’m doing my best not to push myself because of the muscle [...]

This morning’s ride: 1:03:11 Distance 13.98 miles Average 96 RPM I wanted to go 15 miles. I had planned on going 15 miles. I didn’t plan on running into a marathon. I suppose it ‘s my own darn fault for not paying attention to local events, but when I slipped onto the canal path about [...]

This morning’s ride: 1:01:23 Distance: 13.73 miles Average: 90 RPM It was dark this morning when I started my ride. No–that’s not entirely correct. It was night, but it wasn’t really dark. There was a waning gibbous moon hanging in the sky, and it was bright enough that I saw my shadow as I climbed [...]

This morning’s ride: 1:58:34 Distance: 24:07 miles Average: 80 RPM I didn’t want to ride today. I had no desire at all. Instead, shortly after I woke up, I called my friend Mike, and we talked. We talked about politics and life, and–this is important–we talked about ourselves. It’s surprising how few people are really [...]

This morning’s ride: 52:00 or so Distance: 11.88-ish Miles Average: low 90′s It was cold this morning. Jacket and gloves cold. My combination GPS/timer’s batteries ran out 10 miles into the ride. I don’t care. My kids are home. This evening’s ride: 51:25 by my watch Distance: around 12 miles. Average: 90′s I had a [...]

This morning’s ride: 1:20:44 Distance 18.39 miles Average: 90 RPM I had a nice 2-hour ride mapped out. I had the time, traffic was light, the weather was good, and my legs felt fresh. So why did I stop 40 minutes short? My freaking gracilis. That damned muscle on the inside of my left thigh [...]
