Popular Post groupw Posted August 4, 2022 Popular Post Share #1051 Posted August 4, 2022 4 on the Varsity. 30 minutes on weights. After my ride home I pulled the bike in the garage. As I took off my helmet, PSSHHHTT! The back tire went flat. This is the 4th time in a short period of time. I’m going to buy a new rear tire and rim tape and figure out what’s going on. One of the flats was on the rim side and this acted the same way that tube did when I tried to fix it. I checked all over inside the rim but found nothing before. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JerrySTL ★ Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Share #1054 Posted August 5, 2022 15.2 miles with WoJSTL on the Schwinn Twinn Tandem. At least three trees down on the Goshen Trail about 7 miles north of O'Fallon trailhead. Workers were attempting to remove the trees so we just turned back a little short of our 20 miles goal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mr. Beanz Posted August 6, 2022 Popular Post Share #1061 Posted August 6, 2022 40 miles, 16.8 average speed. 91 degrees, 43 percent humidity. Final Team Fat Bastard ride as Jose leaves to AZ for good on Monday. He hasn't ridden much in the last month so we took it easy. I felt super. Maybe taking in more electrolytes during the week at work and on the bike today. Jose was struggling so I pulled for 1.5 miles and he pulled for.5. Had to slow a couple times for him but we were a team, don't ditch team mates.....unless it's for money. 😄 But sad to see him go as he's now, as some call it, Beanz Trained. He knows how I ride TOGETHER as a team. Damn, now I gotta train someone else. 🤣 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aided by that breeze, I got 3 PRs including one on a short climb good enough for 6th place overall. Something about that little hill over the RR tracks seems to suit me.

He hasn't wanted to do 50 in quite some time so hey, now he's gone I might as well start racking in longer miles. 95 degrees and windy. Throw in some heat and the trail is empty 😄 You know it's windy when you're doing 15 mph blowing by other riders. 🤣 Did run into my friends Ron & Dixie on the last few miles. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zephyr Posted August 14, 2022 Popular Post Share #1094 Posted August 14, 2022 78.5 miles avg speed 19.4mph My first Fondo since pre-covid. The E'Tape Edmonton by Tour de France. It was a TDF sponsored ride which was kind of fun because the start and finish lines were the big TDF blow ups, and they had a sprint section marked and a climbing section marked. Winner in those areas (per age group) were going to be awarded actual green and polka-dot jerseys, and the actual winner got a yellow jersey. What was kind of neat as it was an out and back course, we got to see the racers. I met them at my 40k (25 mile) mark which means they were already 28 miles ahead of me and they were flying. Had PBs for 50 miles (2:31) and 62 miles (100km) of 3:04. Felt good to be out in a big group again. I didn't win a jersey :-( Apparently Alberto Contador was there but he did not ride with me 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
