Followed that up with a barbecue (or as us Saffers like to call it, a braai) with a number of lagers to rehydrate and now I'm about to crash!
Drink 6 lagers, lift and call me in the morning :roflmaoQuote:

Not really a workout but...four mile hike doing trail maintenance. Mostly weed whacking and chopping back scrub brush and thorn bushes.
Having done something similar many times before, I'm going to argue in favour of calling it a workout.Quote:

There is a definite lack of decent hill climbs in my area, and I never would have said that last year. The few hills around here are short and nasty, but are becoming less challenging. I still have another chainring to go through before I call challenge complete though. When I can do them in top gear I'll be satisfied...And sad at the same time, because then I will have to head further afield in search of better. On the bright side, it will mean more riding time.

I went and joined the local Parkrun community this morning for the 5km parkrun. I did a nice easy 2.7km warmup and after the parkrun, ran home. Total was 9km. My legs though felt extremely heavy which is not surprising considering the cycle I did on Thursday.
Today's workout:
-Chin-ups
-Military Press
-Bicep Curl
-Deadlift
-Leg Press
Race day today, 10k trail run, at 2000m above sea level, 3300 ft of elevation change. Finished in 1 hr 21 mins.
Well done.Quote:

I had a nice and easyish 50km surf & turf (part road/part off-road) ride this morning.
Definitely feeling a lot fitter than I was 4 weeks ago.
Oh, I definitely felt the elevation, you could feel it just walking up the inclined street to the house. I was super happy with the result, shaved 9 minutes off of my last race, which was back in Edmonton.Quote:

However, actually did some bench presses (very light) last night and some 'L' sits and chinups... But mainly it's climbing P:-)....

I knew better than to have this lovely taunting me when I was unable to ride so I put it on layaway. I've been cleared for bike riding so I picked it up on my lunch break. Tonight we ride! Freakin A! First ride since June 28th. I'm happy as a puppy with two peckers!
Bicep and tricep today - some crazy loud AC/DC playing in the weight room...
Was a, "Whole Lotta Rosie"....

I clocked up 71 kms today. The most I've done in one hit since 1988. I have to admit, I didn't think I was going to make it back. I was tired, sore, hungry and I had a nasty headwind. And to top it off, it's Magpie season. These birds take sadistic joy in belting people in the head and I was too buggered to get up enough pace to outrun the blighters. All in all, it was a great session, but one that I'm in no hurry to repeat just yet.

The weather was atrocious. It was dark. The pace was pathetic and I'm a bit gun shy in traffic but what a wonderful ride. It was great just to be out there again.
I rode with MapMyRide! Distance: 14.45mi, time: 01:52:45, pace: 7:48min/mi, speed: 7.69mi/h.

@ whoever.
I've never been big on go fast bikes. This is an aluminum frame hybrid. It probably weighs high 20s to low 30s. Even still it's a bunch easier to move down the road than a MTB. The tires are 700 cm and run them at 80 psi. I'd probably do poorly in a group of road bikes but can sustain 15-20 MPH for a good while
Fair enought, I was assuming you may be packing it in and outvif where you were riding :yQuote:

Today I got a run in though.
Did 11k in 46 minutes. Not my usual standard, but at least I got out there.
Holy damn skippy. I haven't run that fast in years. :DQuote:

Got in a short trail run this evening. Looking forward to a longer run later in the week.
My recent accident has me stalking a fat bike beach cruiser/ all terrain bike. The logic being you can't get hit by a car if you ride places cars can't go
There are some nice ones around 2-250 by vkeck this one out , it fire your logic https://www.google.com/search?client...dGI;1548235]My recent accident has me stalking a fat bike beach cruiser/ all terrain bike. The logic being you can't get hit by a car if you ride places cars can't go[/QUOTE]
If you are looking for a fat bike, I can totally recommend a Surly and they have a number of different options to choose from.Quote:

Ah Surly. What I wouldn't give to have one of every horse from their stable! But the ECR is the baby I lust after. While not an official fat bike, it does everything I could ever want. It's the Bug Out Bike of my dreams. :)
