TrentonMakes Posted October 24, 2021 Share #1755 Posted October 24, 2021 36 miles today on the KHS. It was something like 55 degrees today and even with a long sleeve jersey and a windbreaker I didn't really warm up until 10 miles in. I now have the #3 time worldwide on northbound Silvia Street. Though I suppose I should say that it's a little town road that only opened a couple months ago. But i also got the #6 time on another short segment, a little climb from a traffic light (where i stopped), up over a railroad bridge and down the other side. I felt great climbing it but i was floored to see a ranking out of it. That was pretty cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr. Beanz Posted October 24, 2021 Popular Post Share #1756 Posted October 24, 2021 34.9 miles with Gina and Jose at 15.9 average speed. Gina faded at the end of the ride, like the last 1/2 mile. Said it was her wardrobe. 2 base layers, thick socks, long tights over long shorts. Said she felt restricted and her legs were feeling it, as well as feeling hot. OK, I'll believe her this time. I myself thought it felt windy both ways so I can see how she pooped out. Hope to get a video out sometime on Monday. Couple of images from the footage. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted October 25, 2021 Popular Post Share #1759 Posted October 25, 2021 7.6 miles on a veggie run trying to beat the rain. I almost did, I would have made it if I didn’t decide I had time to ride further. I didn’t. This was my grocery getter. I was planning on just buying some tomatoes but they sold them all. I had to stop buying because I ran out of room. I have a set of grocery bag panniers. I should have used those. This is a fun hill, you can hit good speed going down but it’s not too bad going up either. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo night ride trying out different back streets here and there vs my normal course. Less thorns, avoiding a stubborn signal and more thorns down the road. After the rain, I figure it would be dirty. A new road I discovered along the way, little traffic and clean.

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted October 31, 2021 Popular Post Share #1780 Posted October 31, 2021 7.5 miles playing around at five points and my first time to stop in Discount Grocery. I ride past there all the time and wonder what they have. The first thing I saw was large boxes of fresh beets with the beet greens not the least bit wilted. $5 for the whole box. No room on the bike for them. They had bottles of Boost for 45 cents. I drink that all the time trying to gain weight. It’s $2 a bottle at the pharmacy. They also had a good selection of energy bars and protein bars 45 cents each. I only had one pannier on my bike, I filled it up. A cute Amish girl came over from the house across the road to man the store. She brought a book to read while I looked around. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr. Beanz Posted October 31, 2021 Popular Post Share #1781 Posted October 31, 2021 Almost solo 60, miles at 16.5 average speed. Rode solo till the last 14 when I ran into my tandem friends before the last stretch back from the coast. Probably did 65 total miles. Forgot to start my device after a stop at a park to refill. Then after my ride ended, shut down the device but saw friends ride by so hopped back on to chase them down for video and a chat. The ride back with my tandem friends was fun. They said it was windy today, I think it was but I felt great like I should have done 100 miles. But with the tailwind back, they were rolling. 20 MPH and at one time, 25. I just held on for the first 5 miles till they mellowed out so that I could go to the front and help out. It was cool taking turns and working together. Trail seemed like a ghost town today but strangely enough, I ran into a lot of friends. Video on Monday. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mr. Beanz Posted October 31, 2021 Popular Post Share #1785 Posted October 31, 2021 35 miles with Gina at 16.1 average speed. Great day, riding well till some POS homeless guy caused Gina to crash. Luckily we slow down at the end of a tunnel seeing there is a walkway that enters the trail at a blind corner. It was clear so we continued and luckily starting an uphill. Just when some scum bag comes out of an outdoor construction storage type area from behind a large stack of pallets. Riding straight across the trail not paying attention. I shout then veer left off onto the opposite shoulder. Gina tried to veer right as the guy is now toward her left but he's riding his bike pulling a pit bull on a long leash. So Gina veers back to the center and T- bones the guy. He somewhat cushioned her fall so she ends up with bruises all over her legs and thighs and a banged up elbow. As well as a few cuts on her hand. Gave the idiot a piece of my mind seeing his stupidity caused some damage. Gina's battered and bruised as well as damaged cables and housing. Her rear shifter would not shift and somewhat bent. The guy was exiting the no entry zone carrying wire that he was stealing from the storage site. I should have choked him out. So now there is some skinhead looking homeless scumbag out there who thinks I have anger issues. MOTHER FUCKER!!!! But Gina's bike wouldn't shift so she rode the final 9 miles back single speed though battered and bruised. I'm impressed! Warming up. Gina pulling away. Not really, just wanted a shot We passed these guys, somewhat know them. Few weeks ago, the guy in red rode with another fella. We passed them then as well heading into the wind, not trying to pass. One of the guys riding then felt threatened I guess so they went around and raced off looking back at us. OK, game on ha ha ha! We ended up passing them about 1 mile from the coast. But today, the other guy wasn't with them. So we passed them THEN the other guy was heading the opposite way, the guy from before, turned around to join these two guys. Then they caught up to us and the third guy, again seemed to want to play games. Game on again ha ha ha! So we just hopped on. We don't usually hop on anyone but since I knew this guy from last time, I told Gina and Jose, let's play! There was about 5 miles left to the coast heading into the wind. Always a stiff headwind here. So these guys were rotating and each one would do about 17, maybe 18 for a couple of minutes then back down to 17 after their power burst. The guy in the red was the strongest. So I watched them and each time a they rotated, they seemed to pick up the pace in an attempt to drop us. I actually think they thought Gina couldn't keep up. Always seems guys get offended when Gina passes them. Silly but have had a few throw temper tantrums ha ha ha! So we just sat on the back as I watched their strategy. The guy from before that tried to play with us was really going all out. I could see him bobbing and weaving side to side trying to keep the speed up ha ha ha! Then the occasional look back to see if we were still there. So the last 5 miles we had an 18 average according to Strava. Then the last mile, I could see them slowing down. So I watched as the stronger guy took the front then faded after about 2 minutes. One and a half miles left, "GINA, CAN YOU HANG IF I TAKE THE FRONT AND LIFT THE PACE?". She said yeah, she was feeling good. So I went around, got on the front, looked back to make sure they hopped on my wheel. I gently increased the pace to 19. Gina was still good so the last 1/2 mile, I picked it up more, strava says 19.6 average speed on that segment. Gina held tough and the guy who has started to play the game the last couple of times, he fell back ha ha ha! I'm guessing he underestimated Gina ha ha ha! 5 miles to go, they're lifting the pace. First guy is the guy who likes to play games. Gina and I sitting on the back just having fun till it was Hammer Time! Nice little visit to the coast. Before the crash. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of chatting with buddies then riding back with my tandem friends. The final 14 of my somewhat solo 60 mile ride.
