Banking Miles and Tired Legs

Weekend Jan 5^th & 6^th

This weekend I put in just over 36 miles in 3 rides on my trainer.  I’ve passed Allentown, PA still heading west on I-78, making my way towards Harrisburg, PA.

Progress Status:  Ahead of schedule

Total Miles Rode:  91.2

Miles Remaining:  2664.1

Ride Notes:  As I was typing this, I should have planned better and downloaded the Billy Joel song Allentown and played that once while riding.  On second thought that would be $0.99 and 4 minutes of my life I would never get back.  My time was better spent watching Storage Wars recorded on my home grown DVR/Media center.  The Brooks saddle is feeling good, but had to adjust the seat angle as I found myself sliding forward when I sat upright without holding the handlebars.

Next scheduled ride: Jan 7^th.  Spinning Class

Monday Jan 7^th

I rode for 60 minutes in spinning class for a total of 16 miles.  I’m inching my way closer to Harrisburg, PA and am still on I-78.

Progress Status:  Ahead of schedule

Total Miles Rode: 107.2

Miles Remaining:  2648.1

Ride Notes:  My legs were feeling a bit tired in class today.  I’m currently ahead of schedule, and its tempting to hold back. I know that things will come up that will prevent me from riding in the future, so I push ahead.  Its better to have the miles in the bank than try to make them up down the road.

Next Scheduled ride: Jan 9^th.  Spinning Class

Wednesday Jan 9th

I rode for 60 minutes in spinning class for a total of 16.2 miles.  I'm about 60 miles outside Harrisburg, PA and am still on I-78.  I hope to be past Harrisburg by this time next week.

Progress Status:  Ahead of schedule
Total Miles Rode: 123.4
Miles Remaining 2631.9

Rode Notes:  I had an awkward work schedule Tuesday as I had to get into work at 5:00am for a change at the call center.   As a result I was a bit tired in class today, but managed to push through it will almost maximum effort.  Cathy slipped on the ice at work and hurt her knee yesterday.  For the next week or so I will be without her at spinning class. :-(

I finally received all of the parts I need to complete the rebuild of my single speed bicycle.  This weekend I should have it all put together.  This was a really interesting project for me and my knowledge of how to work on bicycles has grown greatly.  I will dedicate a post just for this over the weekend.

Next Scheduled ride: Jan 10th.  Spinning Class
