Comments: We were in Las Vegas for the holidays so no bicycle. But I did remember to bring my shoes and shorts and it was f'n GORGEOUS out so this was not any kind of chore - it was an awesome day.

I did this loop that I know which goes through a storm drain/wash thingy. Not very long or anything but it sure beat sitting around the house eating more cookies.

Comments: Okay, I had a SUPER core workout this morning... all the usual stuff and hip abductors and adductors as well. And I felt good during the spinning class but for some reason Kempton B cut it a bit short. No matter, it was a really good workout.

Comments: The gym went great today except I totally forgot the leg extensions and curls! :( There I was, chatting away and after walking out and driving half way home I figured it out. Oh well.

At the indoor TT I signed up too late and all but the first slot were sold out. I tired to go extra hard and was motivated to do so but my body would only let me get a pretty average result. Poop. I did not feel crushed but maybe the gym took a little bit of a toll. And maybe I Just need to get fitter. :|

I'm realizing I need to ride my bicycle more.

Comments: ELEVEN BABY! I think this is the most flights I have ever done... And today my breathing was better than last week, not quite so lung cancer patient-esque.  I think it was because we rested a fair bit between flights. JIm K and RC R were there again, Jim wants to keep increasing until we get to 15 flights. Go Jim.

Comments: Wake up call this ride was.

Other than maybe one spin class per week and a couple of indoor TTs per month I really have not been on my bike at all... Loads of other crap like stairs, running around in a park, some weights but guess what; it just does not equal TITS (Time In The Saddle). I was not breathing that hard but my legs were toasty way too early on.

I managed one extended pull on Mercer Island while on the Hank ride and another on Rainier but then going around the island the second time I could NOT maintain the 23 mph that this one guy wanted to go. I practically got dropped.
Equipment: Bianchi Volpe, 38/50, 12-25

This is only my second ride outdoors with my new cleat position (I shoved them as far back as they would go) and it feels fine so I'm sticking with it.
