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!!!

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.

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!
