Lunch Ride

So the lunch ride was awesome today!!! It was Kenny, Aaron, Dan!!!, & I. Dan still not feeling up to riding with us took the shorter route and we took the 12 mile route and tried to catch him!!! Yeah that didn't happen??? We pulled in about 2-3 minutes after he did. Still good but not fast enough. We averaged 20.5 MPH but that wasn't enough. It was pretty windy, but we hammered it out! Kevin got a picture of us also!!

A1A Ride

Wow this was a long ride after such a long break!!! 54.5 miles, averaging 17.5 MPH. I forgot to turn on the "Pause on stopped" setting so it reduced my AVG MPH to 15 on the Garmin, but some easy math fixed that. It was 15-20 MPH sustained winds, with gust to 30 MPH. We were having to work going down the Vilano Beach bridge. It was just Neal and me, and Neal was on his friggin mountain bike! And kept up and pulled a lot of the time also!! He is a beast!

Long Lunch Ride

It was cold day. We had server issues at work so Kevin couldn't go as planned. It was Kenny, Jim, & I. We did alright. The new route was great! It will be my new Lunch Ride!
About 3 miles into the ride the battery on my Garmin died because I hadn't charged it since the last ride and I played with it when I got my new shoes on Christmas day. So there is no route for today.

Graham Swamp

So Neal, Kevin, and I went to Graham Swamp this morning! It was a beautiful day! The swamp was not that wet and it made for some good riding. I busted pretty hard on the medium jump at the beginning because I thought that I could ride through the branches of a bush. Think again. I was ok just a little sore. Kevin on the other hand. Busted really hard clipped in on the drop off in the mud area. This is the same place i busted. He ran his knee into the fork and cut his knee open pretty bad. But he was ok. We met up in the woods with some guy that was smoking a cigar while riding, I have no idea how he does it. I had to stay up wind it was killing me. After the first full loop Neal & I wanted to do it a few more times but Kevin was done. So we left. All in all it was a nice ride, just wish that it would have lasted longer.

Lunch Ride with the wind!

This Weekend…

There was no riding this weekend. It rained ALL day Saturday & Sunday I went to the gym and spent the day with Dana. Hopefully the week has some decent weather, I would really like to get in some decent miles this week!

Lunch Ride 4

Today was Jim, Aaron, Kenny, & I. We had a fast ride! It was freezing again! In the 50's. We wore our arm warmers and I should have worn my leg warmers it was so cold. That is now 4 days in a row for lunch rides and I also rode the trainer on Sunday and worked out at the gym on Wednesday. It has been a good week!

Lunch Ride Kenny, Wind, & I.

Today was just me Kenny and the wind!! Man it was rough! I had to drop in my small chain ring for a bit it was so bad! We were cruising at 24-26 for a while, and even hit 31 on Southside, but back on Baymeadows it was rough!

Lunch Ride, Captain Blowout gets a friend...

Today's ride was awesome! Kenny, Jim, Aaron, & I rode and wore it out. We hit a max of 30MPH on flat land and even in the heavy wind we averaged 20.5 MPH. On the final stretch on Southside Jim hit something and got a flat. So Kevin finally has a fellow member to the Captain Blowout group. Kenny is a beast! He is getting really strong.

Lunch Ride Freezing!

Ride was freezing cold and windy as it could be! I didn't bring my arm or leg warmers so I was really cold. It was just Kenny, Jim, & I. The wind was hitting hard, our average speed hurt because of it. It was only about 19 MPH. But it was a good ride.

Pensacola 8 Mile Loop

So I finally got to ride while here in Pensacola. It was getting dark and a little cold but it was a great ride. Having not ridden in a week I felt like super man! The hills are awesome here. I tried to do a 12 mile loop but I guess that I turned one road early and it was only a 8 mile loop. Debris was a issue here, I guess that the street sweepers aren't as good as other places, I'm not sure. Wish I could have ridden more but I had a good time while I was here but am looking forward to getting back home to Dana.
