Today is Thursday June 5 2025 and last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday i rode my bike.
On Friday i rode my road bike for 35 miles. On Saturday i rode my mountain bike 40 miles. On Sunday i rode my road bike about 15 miles.
FRIDAY - About 25 minutes into the ride it became clear i had way to much pressure in the road bike tires. So i took some out, which turned out to be way to much. But it was still rideable. This was a good reminder that im getting old, meaning my body cant take the bumpy ride that comes from riding 90 psi on road bike tires over bumpy KCMO roads.
I attempted the Goodbye Stranger run again at Cliff Drive. Didn't come close to making it. I need a new (longer) song. Although i think Goodbye Stranger will forever be my white whale for that section of road.
SATURDAY - Woke up early and hit the road, it was a beautiful morning. My ideal biking weather is when i can wear shorts, short sleeves, no gloves, and start the ride with my neon yellow wind jacket. It's one of those jackets that you can ball up into the size of a baseball. i love it. It's my security blanket.
Anyway... i rode north to the Kansas River levy and rode it over to Kaw Point to say hi to the Lewis and Clark Statue. This was a great ride that was capped off by a run thru the Leawood North bike loop. I've mentioned this route before. It's simply a marked loop thru Old North Leawood. i grew up in these neighborhoods, they are nice, the roads are not busy, its very shady, and despite there being a ton of stop signs there are a decent amount of curvy roads, so its a fun route. i like to do it and time myself. My time on this occasion was slow.
SUNDAY - Originally i had plans for another big ride which would give me 4 big rides in a row but that wasn't realistic so instead i grabbed the road bike and did the Old North Leawood loop again. I put up a time of 32:01 which is pretty good for me.
This was a great 4 day run of bike riding and I can feel the beginnings of what could be a foundation for decent fitness.
Onward!
