Warm up and down.

C • Summer Solstice Race? 2

Intervals. 5 x 7 min on and 2 min recovery. Felt really tired from yesterdays ride, didn't feel like I was moving very fast at all. With the heat today decided to walk the recovery so I didn't over heat.

And I ended the week with a nice light ride up to my Grandma's place to help her with her computer.

Today we played tried to answer the questions road or mountain bike? So myself and my Sport Swap twin headed up to Albion Hills to do a few laps of the Summer Soltice course (which I have to say is really easy this year). After 2 laps of the course we then headed out onto the road and started the ride home. Highway 50 to Major Mackenzie to Weston road. At Finch my twin turned to head back to his place and I continued until the Humber trail started and road that back to out place.

I don't know if we did ever sort out road vs mountain, but we had a lot of fun.

So this got me thinking about another ride I'm think I should try. Start at my place and ride up to Highway 9. I think we could do some of this on the humber valley trail. Then take Highway 9 west until it meets with the rail trail. Rail trail to Terra Cotta and then either trail ride on the Scott's farm trail or just continue to my parents place. Either way it all ends in Georgetown at my parents place.

Anyone interested?

C • Long Ride 4

Stretches for my legs this morning.

Warmup before the race.

Race #2 at Durham Forest. Iceman put together a very fun course with a good series of climbs and single track. Overall I'm happy with the race seeing how my legs have been really sore all week. 3rd overall, 1st in my category.

Ride into work. Was a bit surprised when I turned onto Cummer and found that all the pavement has been removed to resurface the road. I'm going to need to find a new way home.

Ride home, no I didn't suddenly get faster. Ended up hitting a pothole pretty hard, which knocked my water bottle off the bike. My luck the bottle gets itself wedged inbetween my rear wheel and the frame so in less then 20 s I had 2 broken spokes and a very wobbly wheel. Decided at this point to call Kristen to come and get me rather then do anymore damage to the wheel.

C • No Endo 3

A nice morning run along the waterfront before work. Legs were feeling yesterdays interval and weight sessions.

20 min before intervals and 10 minutes after.

Legs were pooched after this.

At home, doing the stretches for me knee.
