Wednesday had a good ride inside on the trainer. It was raining outside so I came in for the ride. Getting use to riding inside. Will start doing specific workouts on the trainer starting in December.
As we do each year, our family comes to our home for Thanksgiving. Everyone usually arrives by 2:00. I wanted to go for a long ride so I left around 7:00 am. Weather was calm but very cloudy and humid. Temperature was 50 degrees. I rode to Sandy Hook and stayed on the Hook doing several laps. It was extremely quiet with hardly any cars or other bikers. Then I went from the Hook all the way to the end of Spring Lake and then back home. Ride came to 72 miles in 4:42. A real mind game as I wanted to stop several times. It is very important to set your exact goal before you leave. Than you can play all the mind games you want back you still know the ultimate objective. Felt good after the ride.
Today I got up early and did core strength exercises and quad lifts. Then I ran easy for an hour doing 5 miles. Good work out. Looks like tomorrow I will be inside and the a good ride on Sunday as the weather should be better by then. Trying to stay outside as long as possible.
