My roommate Sean joined me tonight on a ride and man it was windy. We took a new route that I really liked but I’m not sure I’ll do this one again at night. It was so dark on William D Fitch Parkway I could hardly see 3 feet in front of me even with the light on my bike.

Total Time: 47:57 minutes

Avg Speed: 12.6 MPH

Well I went for another ride this morning and had my first crash on my road bike. A car hugged a corner and pushed me up into the curb. Unfortunately I couldn’t unclip fast enough to catch myself; I need to work on getting out of the clips faster. Damage to the bike wasn’t that bad, just a few “character” marks on the bike now. Instead of riding around the Rock Prairie area I rode down to South West Parkway and back. I like that route because there are bike paths almost the entire ride.

Total Time: 32:22 minutes
Distance: 7.04 miles
Avg Speed: 13 MPH
Max Speed: 21.7 MPH

Not bad, 10 minutes longer than last time and 2 1/2 miles further. Next ride should be on Monday or Tuesday.

Figured I would start entering my rides into my blog so I could track my progress and people could help keep me going if they see I haven’t posted anything in a few days.

Total Time: 22:22 minutes
Distance: 4.78 miles
Avg Speed: 12.8 MPH
Max Speed: 23.1 MPH

Overall it was a good ride. The temperature finally dropped below 100 degrees so it wasn’t that bad. I picked up some bike shorts last weekend and that helps ALOT. Before I could only ride a day or two and then I couldn’t sit on the bike for several days. My goal is to ride again on Saturday.

New Years Resolutions and Cold Weather Don't Mix

Cody — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:57:07 +0000

Well one of my new years resolutions was to start riding my road bike at least three times a week. Since the weather was cold I picked up some Nike gear to help keep warm. Well I just finished my first ride of the year; 45 minutes in 30 degree misting conditions. Talk about major suck. Maybe next time I’ll remember to put something on my head other than a helmet since that’s the part of my body that was FREEZING!!!! The phrase “dumbass” comes to mind.
