Today is Monday June 9 2025 and last Saturday i did a big bike ride.
Saturday am until 10am is my typical big bike ride window but when i woke up this Saturday it was raining so at first i did an hour on the trainer while watching a movie (and the radar), can you guess the movie?
i pushed fairly hard for that hour.
By around 8am the rain had moved on so i changed shoes and jumped on my mountain bike to pedal in the great outdoors. In this case the great outdoors was to and from downtown KC.
i pushed hard for most of the ride and was pleased with how i felt. Although leg cramps were a thing.
In the end (when adding up both rides) i did 3 hours and 27 minutes. The mileage said 41.09 but i'm not sure how accurate that is considering the first hour was inside.
i had wanted to do a 50 mile gravel ride but the rain put the kibosh on that. Plus i still haven't cleaned my cx bike since the Mule Skinner gravel race about a month ago. The next race i have my eyes on is a 62 mile gravel race in Sedalie on July 12... but that means i need to do some big mileage asap.
I only have two Saturdays before we're in Colorado for vacation, but in addition to those two Saturdays i also have Fathers day on a Sunday, so i can probably parlay that into a big ride Saturday and Sunday of that week.
So its possible i can get in three big gravel rides over the next 3 weeks. Let's say 50, then 55, then 60 miles. Plus i plan to do plenty of biking in Colorado, including hopefully 2 big rides. Those rides will be at altitude so i've got that going for me... which is nice.
Bicycles!
