Week in review
So for the past week:
Mon 21: Spinner 1:08
Tue 22: 6mile deep snow ride 1:12
Wed 23: Chimney rock deep snow ride 1:29
Thu 24: Base training road ride, 2:37, 41 miles
Fri 25: Spinner 1:55 (longest ever, watched Blood, sweat and gears)
Sat 26: Rain
Sun 27: MTBNJ.com team ride, 3:43 (4:26 total), 65 miles, 3,400 elevation if that can be trusted
So this was 120 miles, and close to 12 hours, which is a lot for me. I guess I took advantage of 3 days off.
The issue may be that I only had one real base building ride, and I tried to simulate base on a spinner. The rest of them were pretty much whatever goes. Including today's team ride, where I know my HR did not behave as per plan, and probably quite the opposite. As bill (scalpel6) and I were talking while churning up Sourlands, pretty much all training discipline goes out the window on group rides anyways.
Not sure how this disruptive week of riding will impact my future fitness, I'll probably spontaneously explode or something at some point. Or melt. Or get fat and unfit. Or pull something.
Today was a real fun ride, we started at Ben's house and put down 65miles / 3:45 with a stop in Lambertsville at an out of the way coffee house, at Fred's insistence for a euro-coffee experience. There was a forklift and bags of coffee beans right in the main area. Awesome day for a ride, with an all-star cast of riders.
Funny we saw montclairbobby at that coffee house, and later on we ran into mtbdawgjeff. I believe at that moment we saw Jeff, Fred and Norm collided or maybe just rubbed up against one another and stayed up.
I woke up today with a sore throat and a stuffed up head. It got better with the ride, but now I'm flat on my ass.
