Training Log Archive: OutdoorsMama

Moving time of 4hr 54 min. We were quite liberal with snack, photo and bio breaks.
Paul had mapped out a route that included the Greenway, but it was soft enough that we were leaving tracks in the lower/ wetter spots so we bailed out to the roads. The wind was persistent but not as crazy as a few days ago, and low and behold, once more changed from the expected tail wind on the way home to a cross wind. Sure, this is a flat area, but we are ALWAYS pedalling.....there is no coasting.
Oddly enough, we rode on 2 road segments I never been on (would usually take the parallel Greenway). Saw a lot of mallards and Canada geese, picking out nesting sites on ponds.
The temperature got up to 3 or 4 C before going back to 1-2 C once the sun disappeared behind the clouds.
Good training for the butt!
And even Paul commented that by BB seemed to be quiet. Please don't jinx me!

I rode around and around the 'hood, but there was no noise/vibration (yet) coming from my BB area.

The bottom bracket area on my adventure bike was making a bit of a noise/vibration, which is probably more noticeable as the belt drive is so smooth and quiet. The fellow who made it sent me a replacement BB (and the appropriate wrench) (as it is a 3 hour drive to his shop, I thought that would be a good idea). My evening consisted of YouTube, a bike stand, some allen keys, a rubber mallet and a tube of suitable grease. And there were no parts left over.

C • Playing bike mechanic is fun! 3

Rowing then kettlebells.

Resistance was the theme.

Last game of the season....and we won handily. So that's good for the bronze.

Ball hockey starts in early May.

Hauled my belly full of Easter brunch out the door and rode up (3 times) and over the "mountain" on the Greenway east of Ruthven.
