Nice Morning Ride & an Epic Fail

Rode this morning at 7am. It was pretty dark so I needed my headlight. I rode for one hour as part of my plan. 15 minute warm-up, 5 minutes moderate pace, 5 minutes moderate-fast race pace, 35 minute cool down. Enjoyable for sure, but still feels too easy. The bike feels good and I have all the gear I need.

Attempted a ride with Sherri on the path we rode a lot last fall. It was certainly warm enough, but the trail was in bad shape. Very mushy and muddy. It even had snow on it whereas most areas in town the snow is gone. We bailed on the idea after about 20 minutes.

And were off

An Easy Hour on the Road

The workout today called for an easy one hour ride in HR Zone 1. Its hard to hold back for a whole hour. I just did some flat roads in and around town. Altogether I did about 7.5 miles and my HR was never above 135. Mostly it was about 120.

In the above pic I'm wearing my new Cannondale 100% windproof jacket that I bought from Brookfield Bike. Very comfortable and very warm. My only problem today was my fingers. I wore the wrong gloves and my fingers froze. They hurt like hell by the time I got home. Next time its in the mid 30s I'm wearing my EMS gloves.
