put on a few pounds this week over holidays. lots of bbq's and lots of beer and other things. today's ride was fantastic compared to yesterday's mess with the bee sting and the lousy flat tire. wen tthe same way and went to deer ridge lane and up concession 4 and back to 15 then thru town. i estimated 60 km. it worked out to be 66 km. i felt a little sluggish on 4th concesssion for a bit, then recovered. then the hill at jocyviller rd and middle rd killed me. the rest of the way i recovered again and felt nice and strong on 15 and back into town. i hurt again on queen st. but had nice easy tempo home. great ride all together. i think a sleep in tomorrow although it would be my last day for an outdoor ride for a bit. i may take the sleep. it was a busy week with the kids playing and being outside. pretty tired and don't want to risk injury or sick. then again i love the morning rides. it's my only peace.

not a great sleep. a sluggish start to the ride. managed to hook up with a fella riding to work to Gan. the ride was good, the day itself was terrible. first a flat at Treasure Island, the a bee sting on my left finger. that was uncomfortable. then the sky was looking bleak so i headed home to not get caught. i think i'll do the same ride tomorrow but manage what was intended today. i wanted 60-70 km. just fell short with the 47. but i lost 20 mins anyways for the tire change. the ride itself was good once got going. felt good on the climbs

just did a spin in the basement as we were heading out for the day to renfrew with the kids to Storyland. we walked all day, drove all day, and kept busy. so just managed a 30 mins sweat in on the trainer. nothing special

did the t-k out and bath rd. home route. fairly mild south west wind so in my face going out. the ride home was faster. i'm sure i averaged a 36 km/h pace. got it up around 40 at times. felt good once managed to get up. i wanted a longer ride today, but wehn the alarm went off at 520 i stopped it and fell back asleep. i was out around 610 hrs this morning. so a shorter ride. hopefully tomorrow i'll be able to roll out of bed.

the weather was calling for a morning thunderstorm, so i decided to stay inside so not to get caught out from home. I watched a video and just did tempo. i felt tired so i didn't push it too much. initially my knees were a little sore, so i raised my seat a bit and that helped. not much to say about this ride. just sort of spun and then through in 4 1 mins intervals out of the saddle highest gear just to increase the heart rate a bit.
