Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

My goal last week was 72 miles. I accomplished goose eggs.

You don't want to hear the excuses...trust me.

Weekly Stats...

A Pathetic Factoid

I worked yesterday...came home late (25 minute delay on train)...and still went out for a 21 mile ride. Woo hoo!! My first after work ride in over 10 months.

I am sure this is my shortest post ever. :-)

5 Out of 9

Over the last 9 days I managed to ride on 5 days, but the thing about the last 9 days is that I was on vacation. Can I maintain a routine riding schedule heading into this first week back from work? That's the question on my mind...the one that will be answered over the next couple of weeks. Obviously I failed to accomplish that during the Spring riding season...so what will I do differently this time? Riding in the early morning will be key I believe...yet that is my biggest hurdle to overcome as I'm simply not a morning person. Can anyone help me with tips for rising early (other than go to bed early...I know that one!)? I'm all ears.

BTW, on the right side bar with my weekly stats, ??? = afraid to step on scale! But I will one of these days.

He Rides Again...Slowly!

Yup, you read that correctly. I rode my bike this weekend...slowly, but twice!

Saturday I got in 16.5 miles @ 14.2 mph...Sunday I rode 20.9 @ 13.8 mph. Boy was it hot.

It's a fresh start. We'll see what I can do with it.
