Road Cycling; To the coast at Del Mar, up to Carlsbad and back. Nice day out, some light winds. Seemed to hit an energy 'wall' just past 36/37ish miles but keep the legs going. Well rewarded with cold pool and hot jacuzzi. Rode my old '03 Specialized S-Works E5 "Acqua & Sapone" team replica (the old zebra looking bike...who remembers Mario Cipollini?) Wish I could pedal it the way it deserves to be.

Thanks all for you support, and wishing you well. As I found late last year, time somewhat fleeting to spend online but will look to catch up with you soon. You are all very inspiring, and thank you for posting your training and exploits.

Sat 'gentle' bike ride (still kinda worked my heart/lungs on a couple short local climbs, yay). Data courtesy the Garmin Edge...
20.26 mi Distance / 38 brpm Avg Respiration Rate / 23 brpm Min Respiration Rate / 49 brpm Max Respiration Rate / 142 bpm Avg HR / 166 bpm Max HR / 1:30:09 Moving Time / 1,092.5 ft Total Ascent / 193.6 ft Min Elev / 658.8 ft Max Elev / 13.5 mph Avg Moving Speed / 32.8 mph Max Speed / 80 rpm Avg Bike Cadence /108 rpm Max Bike Cadence / 7,010 Total Strokes / 75.6 °F Avg Temp / 69.8 °F Min Temp / 78.8 °F Max Temp
Am somewhat encouraged, as I was in 2020 here with DareBee! That year an early goal was to cycle a 100k (62mi) ride to celebrate my age. I managed to ride enough that summer to do a self-supported "Century" (100mi) in around 7-something hours as I recall, and several 100km rides leading up to that. So far in 2022 and 2023 longest ride was last week at 50mi, so bit by bit I will try to raise this little bar. Each ride day is different on how my body reacts, so will keep on going and keep some worthy personal goals to reach for.
New goals! 2024; by April hit 65mi and by end of summer be back to those long day in saddle and get another Century done. Let's GO!

Yay, have completed the two challenges this month, will revisit them again in 2024.
Nov 2023 Cycling log summary - this month I missed a couple of opportunities to ride more, however with the homw/work schedule and time I gave up a couple of ride opportunity days. all good, as on a few of the rides I continue to feel a bit better out on the bike. Some aches and pains, but at 64 this can be expected (lol, like everyday getting out of bed)
moaning about this aside...this was my best November of riding since 2021.
Data from Garmin; 7 rides, 209.58mi, avg 29.94mi per ride, longest were just over 50mi. AvgHR 137bpm for all rides, maxHR at some point was 170. Vert climbed was 9918' ...lol missed a Garmin monthly challenge here by 82' smh
Will try to catch up with many of you soon. Probably cannot enjoy the snowball fight or other special DareBee events as I am working most of December, not all. The grandbabies are coming to town soon, so will have fun and be busy here with family also. YAY
wishing you all well, and congrats to you on your November achievements!

Some aches and pains, but at 64 this can be expected (lol, like everyday getting out of bed)
moaning about this aside...this was my best November of riding since 2021.Data from Garmin; 7 rides, 209.58mi, avg 29.94mi per ride, longest were just over 50mi. AvgHR 137bpm for all rides, maxHR at some point was 170. Vert climbed was 9918' ...lol missed a Garmin monthly challenge here by 82' smh
Will try to catch up with many of you soon. Probably cannot enjoy the snowball fight or other special DareBee events as I am working most of December, not all. The grandbabies are coming to town soon, so will have fun and be busy here with family also. YAY
wishing you all well, and congrats to you on your November achievements!...here we go! ON to DECEMBER!
