Had a good 30km pre-work ride with the crew this morning.

It's good to be back on the bike after a little lay-off.

Uhhhh, the rain has set in here, I guess I will have to ride vicariously through you, soooo, could you jump back on and log 10 k for me
And in remembrance of yesterday, can you petel at 43kph ( back to the future 2, movie speed at which time travel would occur.)

I'll try that on Sunday, although the only time I'll probably hit that speed whilst Mountain Biking is on a downhill.

Well while you're at it Thug, I'm overdue for about 200 or more kilometres. Would you mind clocking that up for me so I don't fall into arrears. Speed shouldn't drop below 25kph. Good on ya mate

Haha, the last time I did anything of the sort was the bike leg portion of my Ironman in 2011 where I managed an average of 32.5 kph for the 180km. These days, the pace is much more sedate in keeping with my age.

Ran just over 7km this morning.

Bailed out on todays planned ride. Weather looked a bit like it was going to turn nasty. Storm season is coming. Hopefully make up for it either tomorrow or over the weekend.


Mick

This one makes me wish we had a Today's Butt Kickin' thread . 10 mile single track on a mountain bike in the woods. This is much harder than riding pavement, for sure. I decided against the fat bike and picked up this Trek 4300 instead. Much more practical for this kind of riding than 47 pound, single speed bike with 4"wide tires that weigh six and a half pounds a piece. Haven't ridden a bike off pavement for years and my technique and condition both need lots of work but it was fun to get out and get some fresh air just the same.



Back behind bars again and loving it. That's what I call single track.

For the record, I was riding with no hands while taking this picture, hopped that big root on the left, threaded the bike between two huge pine trees and continued to buzz down the trail at top speed . No, not so much, actually, I was stopped, drinking water and gasping for breath.

A little hard, the seat is more for edtetics than use off road I prefer trail to pavement
