Villano Beach Loop

So Jim, Aaron, Kenny & Me rode a 43 mile loop leaving from the Gate station on US1. We did a loop from there to Villano Beach and Back up US1. It was a good ride!! The ride on US1 was really cold, at-least 10 degrees cooler. And I bonked really bad i think because of some Advil i took before the ride. I wont take any of that again. We also out ran some motor scooters on the Villano Beach Bridge.

Long Leaf Pine Ride

Had a great ride! Brian, Jim and me. Rode 36 miles and had a lot of fun. It was my first time riding with Brian! He did great!! He is on a weight loss journey of his own. He has lost 50+lbs in just ~2 months! He was able to hold a good average of around 17mph. About 16 on the computer. The weather was awesome! Hope to do a 50 or 60 miles ride tomorrow.

Tour De Durbin Crossing

So I decided to do this NFBC ride with Neal & Scott R. this morning. I started out bad. I had a flat on the rear tire this morning. It happened at the intersection of Race Track and Bartram. It was a slow leak and i heard it before it went 100% flat. After I got it changed i got to Veterans Memorial Park. I was freezing. I wore my Balaclava and full cold gear. I was still cold. Scott had a flat about 10 miles into the ride and just turned around. I rode with the A+ group most of the ride until i fell back a bit and then me and Neal tried to find Scott. We didn't. By the time i got home i had rode 60 miles!!!

Short Lunch Ride

So we decided to do the 9 mile route for the first time in forever! It was easily the coldest that i have ever been while riding. So I was freezing. It was Jim, Aaron, & Me. Kenny was being part time this week. My weight is still between 290 & 300. Hopefully with the season getting better I can start dropping it faster.
