Popular Post groupw Posted September 15, 2022 Popular Post Share #1255 Posted September 15, 2022 9/13 - 19.3 on the MTB. Had to change up my route because the Santa Rosa wash is now a flowing river and some streets were blocked. 9/14 - 2.5 run/walk. First visit to the dark side literally and figuratively since before monsoon season. Ran after the sun set as it was still upper 90s but lower humidity. Alternated running and walking at each street light. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share #1262 Posted September 17, 2022 31 miles, 2,150 feet climbed. The Rappahannock Rough Ride is held annually to raise money for the Fauquier Free Clinic that provides medical, dental, and mental health care to people who can’t afford it. Road routes are: 12, 32, and 60 miles. Gravel routes are: 20 and 30. I did the road route last year and the gravel this year. I liked the gravel route better. It’s really a 60/40 mix road to gravel but they are lightly traveled and beautiful scenery with very few flat sections. My quads locked up painfully about two miles from the finish. Walked it off and felt much better. I saw @Kirby’s bike but didn’t see Kirby. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share #1263 Posted September 17, 2022 The Roe Jan Ramble, 18 mile route riding with my son-in-law. First time he'd been on his road bike in about 2 years. His company had sponsored a team, and he'd invited me to do the ride, so off we went! About 325 people were registered. These are about 1/2 of the cars at the park where the ride started. At the ride start. It seemed a good mix of all ages and abilities: The clock in the center of the village: The route wandered along rural back roads: A typical valley view: As we passed this horse farm one of the horses burst out with what might have been a 'Neigh!' but after thinking about it we decided it sounded more like 'Allé!' 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TrentonMakes Posted September 24, 2022 Popular Post Share #1289 Posted September 24, 2022 20 miles this afternoon, with my daughter... that's a new one day record for her. She joined the cross country team at college and although running is evil, it's really helped her stamina - her speed was up (and sadly mine was down). I think that's 856 miles YTD. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zephyr Posted September 25, 2022 Popular Post Share #1290 Posted September 25, 2022 Having been called out of town for three of the last four weeks my numbers have dwindled. 202 miles since my last post on Sept 6. Including my son's first century. He rode an old beat up mountain bike through university to get to and from school so he would not have to pay for parking. When he graduated he wanted to fix it up as it was in sad shape, because he said he wanted to commute to his new job, so we bought him a gravel bike for his grad present. He has ridden it for a couple years and has (for fun) climbed a couple ski hills and did a 60 mile ride. We talked about him doing a 100 mile ride and it got canceled twice this summer due to work and weather. He came over this weekend with his bike and it called for light winds and cool temps. He hadn't trained or prepped for it at all, but he is mid 20s, 150 lbs with about 4% body fat and is super fit, hiking, swimming and climbing all the time. We set off around 9am with a goal of about 6 hours ride time. My awesome wife agreed to be our support vehicle and meet us at the 2 and 4 hour marks to resupply our food and drinks. I had picked a route up along the coast through a few small communities on the seaside and it turned out to be a great ride. Being 70 lbs lighter than me I quickly learned not to try to keep up with him on the hills. We ended up with a ride time of 5:38, and an average speed of 17.8mph. Next time I will pick a route without 4 hills in the last 9 miles. Lol. It was faster than I wanted to go, especially missing the last 3 weeks of riding, but it was fine. I just canceled my hockey game for tonight. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted September 25, 2022 Share #1296 Posted September 25, 2022 15.5 up and down South Mountain. My last 2 attempts were failures one physically, on me. The other, my MTB mechanical failure. I took the Stradalli and just kept it simple. I climbed in the tallest gear I had. I made sure I was breathing comfortably. I was passing riders early and often. A few passed me, but I was passing more. It was not my goal. I was still well within myself, but I was catching them. About 2.5 from the top, I passed a guy and he got on my wheel. Can’t really call it drafting, but he was shadowing me. About 1/2 mile from the top, my breathing was very heavy. I took a break and he passed me. Again- no big deal. I finished my ride to the top and took a little break as most riders do. The other rider took off while I was taking some photos at the top. I was happy enough to summit, I was mostly coasting down. Even so, about 1/4 the way down, I caught the guy. I really don’t like to crowd on a twisty mountain road so I backed off on a short climbing section to give him room. Once we started descending again, it was obvious I was going to catch him again. I backed off again at a point where the bike/run trail intersects with the road. Apparently it was also Beautiful Woman Sunday on the trail! Having backed off to give him room, I was able to notice! Shortly after, I caught him again. I could hear him on the disc brakes, hard! I was using my rim brakes, but not like that! I yelled I was passing and went by on the inside of a sweeping curve. I could tell he wasn’t pleased but it was going to be more dangerous to shadow him down. The rest of the descent was uneventful. The guy who was parked next to me arrived back while I was packing up. We had a shot but pleasant conversation. WoW had hiked while I rode. We went for coffees and pastries. I downloaded my watch to Strava. I PR’d the entire ride! I guess I’m going to have to not try so hard again in the future! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
