Rode CRANK AND DRANK last night and got done with trails JUST as the rain hit. Road (as in rode road) home in the rain and had a great time.

For anyone in S Austin Crank and Drank meets every Tuesday @6p if the trails are in good shape. Usually A, B, and C groups and this time they had a couple of guys lead a urban ride on gravel bikes.

The A guys are fast... I can barely hang on.

Took a few days off. That combined with the heat burned me up.

Making good progress.

33 miles last week here in Kalamazoo. Got 17 miles in today and the weather is looking pretty good for riding this week.

I will add that riding a bicycle in a recreational weed legal state is……challenging. Seems like one in five cars that pass me smell like ganja.

I will probably stick to 0300ish rides as there are less people on the roads

Off to a pretty good week. Hope the warmer weather holds out.

Let’s add 27 miles to this week’s total. 13.5 out and back on the Kal-Haven trail.

This trail goes from Kalamazoo to Lake Michigan. Total one way is about 34 miles.

If I can knock 27 miles out after working 10 hours walking up stairs all day I think if I get good weather I should be able to do the whole trail and back. We will see

And a kind of meandering 11+ miles this morning since I woke up a couple of hours before my alarm went off.

 

[Hoji]

Which brings my total miles this week to

first 100+ mile week in a while.

Cycling daily seems to be doing some good. Lost a couple of inches off the waistline. Lost some fat, added some leg muscle.

I'm riding daily and my belt has shrunk. Maybe I need to cut out those gummies, cookies and cakes.

Exercise can increase appetite. That is a battle.
