Just for fun.

While I am not someplace that is geologically awesome like @Vaquero i am back in Lincoln, NE so I have lots of trail/path options.

a little spazzy “go where the bike wants to go” kind of ride this morning.

First time out in a while. Hoping I’m over whatever that was. Could have gone 6-8 I think.

Riding a 20 mile ride Saturday.

Windy this morning. Lots of meth zombies on the bike trails so stayed on surface streets.

 

[deemus]

A little easier this morning. Doing my 5 mile ride with the steep incline tonight.

 

[deemus]

Could have gone longer. Getting stronger.

 

[Hoji]

Still just letting the bike decide the route.

Raining yesterday morning so I took a day off. This morning was pretty nice so

Good Friday ride yesterday. Have my first 20 mile ride this morning.

My first 20 mile ride. I made it. Barely.


I gotta ride more than 4 days to train next time.

Just go ride. Every day. Don’t sweat the mileage, do the time. You’ve got it in you!

I may need a road bike. The mountain bike was def slower than the guys I ride with who have road bikes.

Or a hybrid.

Cut it short this morning. Lightning. Lots and lots of lightning.

My fat tire bike is harder to pedal but that's why I have it, exercise.

Swapping to a road tire is the cheapest way to improve performance if you don’t want to invest in another bike.

As @Hoji mentioned hybrids are worth looking at. I’ve been a roadie all my life and I’m getting to the point a hybrid is more desirable than another road o bike.

Weather Monday -Wednesday made cycling a dicey activity.

This morning was perfect, I overslept and was only able to get about an hour in.

 

[Hoji]

And….. weather again

Mountain biking in Houston sucks, but I still do it. Tons of pedaling & no good downhill reward. We have pine roots in spades, though, if roots are your thing.

I drag my bike up to Huntsville State Park and the Sam Houston Natl Forest pretty often for a change of pace. Still no good downhills. I need to venture to Austin more. Anyone ever ridden Spider Mountain?

And a picture of my favorite current bike.
