I'm riding in this charity ride to support two dear friends who live with MS. I've previewed the route and it is filled with hills! It will definitely be a physical challenge for me, but my friends, and others, living with MS fight physical challenges every day! I have the advantage of being able to train and prepare to meet this challenge, which will last for only 1 day for me, while they don't have options like this. So, how <b><i>have</i></b> I trained and prepared?<div><br></div><div>Last year at this time, I attempted a very hilly/mountainy 62 mile ride in Pittsburgh and bonked big time and needed to quit after about 25 miles. My MS ride should prove to be just as challenging, if not more so, and so I've tried to use what I learned from that unfortunate experience to better prepare for this one.</div><div><br></div><div><b><i><u>MILEAGE</u></i></b></div><div>I've ridden longer and longer rides consistently over the course of the last few months - many 60-65 milers, some 70-75 milers, and one 83 mile ride recently. I feel very prepared for 100 miles, if mileage was the only challenge! Last year, the day before I rode in Pittsburgh, I had done a 35 mile slightly hilly ride at home. I think that was one of my mistakes, so this week I did my 83 mile ride on Tuesday and have held off on other rides for the rest of the week, resting up and just doing workouts off the bike at home.</div><div><br></div><div><b><i><u>TERRAIN</u></i></b></div><div>Hills are always a challenge for me and will definitely be a challenge on Saturday! When possible in my local rides over the past few months, I've tried to include some hilly rides. When tackling hills I've tried to push myself by using as high a gear as I could, going as fast as I could, and working on tolerating the lactate in my legs to a higher degree. "Just shut up legs!" has been my mantra! While off the bike I have been doing near daily workouts at home focusing on leg strength and core strength. And I've lost a bit of weight. I do feel stronger and more capable of riding hills than I ever have been before. However, when we drove in our car over the course last Sunday to preview it, I have to admit that I did feel a little sick to my stomach seeing the number and size of the hills I will face! I think the terrain remains the part of this challenge that worries me the most!</div><div><br></div><div><b><i><u>WEATHER</u></i></b></div><div>Well, obviously I have no control over the weather. Wish I did! In Pittsburgh last year it was very hot and humid and that was not good. The weather prediction for Saturday is much better! It is supposed to be a high of 81, no rain, low humidity, and very light winds. So I'm not really too worried about the weather this time.</div><div><br></div><div><b><i><u>HYDRATION</u></i></b></div><div>I know in Pittsburgh I let myself get very dehydrated and that was a key factor in my bonking! In general I am drinking LOTS more water than I ever have before and I have been doing this for many months - at least half my body weight in ounces of water daily! So I'm going into this ride far more hydrated in general. During the ride I'll be carrying two 20 oz. water bottles with me. There are 7 rest stops and I plan to stop at every one and consume one full water bottle and refill before going on. That way I'll also have water to drink between stops and I should stay hydrated.</div><div><br></div><div><b><i><u>NUTRITION</u></i></b></div><div>This was another huge factor in my ride failure in Pittsburgh last year. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Pre-ride nutrition </i>- Last year I had been clean eating/dieting and although I was eating healthy, I was working with a calorie deficit. Bad plan! This year I have also been focused on clean eating/dieting so this week, I've departed from the calorie deficit and have been eating larger portions, more carbs (although the jury is still out on the value of "carb loading"), more protein and more fruit. I'm probably going to gain a pound or two, but I'm okay with that. I'm going to eat a good breakfast on Saturday morning too. <b><i>During the ride nutrition</i></b> - Again, this was a huge factor last year. I didn't bring food along with me expecting there to be sufficient food at the rest stops. There was not. And 2 years ago when I rode the 45 mile MS ride in Rochester, the only food they had at the rest stops was granola bars. I know I need more. I'll need things like peanut butter sandwiches, protein bars, bananas and other fruit. These are the things I've learned I need to fuel my ride. So, I will be bringing all these things with me just in case they are not being provided, even though it does add extra weight to my bike.</div><div><br></div><div><b><i><u>GOOD OR BAD</u></i></b></div><div>I've never been an athlete, I didn't play any sports in high school, I've never worked with a trainer, so I've made my best guesses here and tried to reflect on and learn from past mistakes. Hopefully I've done the right kind of training and planning for this challenge. I am not a fast cyclist, in general, and am even slower on hills. I am going to try to start out on the course a little early, but I'm pretty certain that I won't arrive back at the finish until they've closed the routes, probably packed up all the food and medals and such, but I'm okay with that. My goal is to finish, even if I'm finishing alone. Jim and Heather will follow my progress on their phones and I know I can call them if I do get into trouble alone and need a pick up. </div><div><br></div><div>So, be thinking positive thoughts for me on Saturday as I climb hills for those who climb their own hills every day!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557029538572316491.post-343925467148277662016-03-09T21:20:00.001-05:002016-03-09T21:20:40.947-05:00Lori & Jim's Great Florida Adventure - Day 14<b><i><u>Day 14</u></i></b><div><br></div><div>Today we said goodbye to Florida and began our trek home.

We decided to stop for the night in Clewiston again. We booked a room in the hotel we stayed in before. After checking in we thought we'd go for a bike ride at Lake Okeechobee. We had seen a sign for access that said their was a bike trail, so off we went. Unfortunately, after getting their, unloading the bikes and taking off, we soon discovered that the road and the trail were closed due to construction! There was no way around it so we headed back to the car having only biked a total of .8 miles, round trip! Very disappointing!

We finally found out why. Apparently long ago, when people still traveled freely between Key West and Cuba, there was a thriving cock fighting business in Key West. Eventually, the city of Key West outlawed cock fighting, but there were still lots of people who owned chickens, so it continued. So, the city made it against the law to even own a chicken and freed all the chickens as protected birds. Even today this law persists. There is still a $500 fine for "harassing" a chicken!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Our next stop was a tour of the house that Ernest Hemingway lived in for the 16 years he lived and wrote in Key West.

Jim opted out as he was tired and decided to end his tour with the great speedway experience rather than pushing himself further. I went on and rode another 20 miles. We rode along streets for a short way and then it was back to canals! Ugh! It started out pretty challenging on thick grass again, steadily improved to a mixture of thinner grass and gravel and then much finer gravel than yesterday! Much more like our canal path at home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Just before that canal empties out into Biscayne Bay, we saw manatees again.

Yesterday's ride was very urban, mostly through Miami and the surrounding area until the very end along the canal and into the camping area. Today was much more on nature-rich environments, which was much nicer. We had a long ride on the Black Creek Trail along the canal, then through a park and out to the ocean in Biscayne Bay on a peninsula, then along a creek and funally a little along the South Dade Trail on the edge of the city of Homestead to our destination in Florida City. I saw all kinds of birds, some baby ducks, a small lizard, 4 manatees (making more manatees), and 1 small alligator in the middle of the creek. This is more of what I imagined this ride would be like. Tomorrow we are going to Everglades National Park, so I'm excited about that. Today was a 31 mile ride and much easier riding than yesterday. We were finished and in camp by 1:00!</div><div><br></div><div>Here are pictures I took today.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIPiypryk9GpHVLyEl8RHm_3YE7VQtkk0eYzOcqIVkrSdCWXhLcjoOM_TDNobTzBXy9IMLXZe0fXkCOhLIOk93sPYlwFMyaYbMRhdKvEFThvJ3KDvca2Q95sunlTqq7grqhIdE_F713gU/s640/blogger-image-884606060.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIPiypryk9GpHVLyEl8RHm_3YE7VQtkk0eYzOcqIVkrSdCWXhLcjoOM_TDNobTzBXy9IMLXZe0fXkCOhLIOk93sPYlwFMyaYbMRhdKvEFThvJ3KDvca2Q95sunlTqq7grqhIdE_F713gU/s640/blogger-image-884606060.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Sunrise in camp this morning. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeYo7zzNzA9CqeopsfsgpE_2vrWmiiiO_OA9A_opCjXNh1kYIs891YmUdi10_hWoQIrAchZ0xReJpo8f3fuOXfCS8Zbzc3L-j5DMif0vlIWmY97obzYZf182_VZuLeZyZRyuh6r-R0HyA/s640/blogger-image--1968261681.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeYo7zzNzA9CqeopsfsgpE_2vrWmiiiO_OA9A_opCjXNh1kYIs891YmUdi10_hWoQIrAchZ0xReJpo8f3fuOXfCS8Zbzc3L-j5DMif0vlIWmY97obzYZf182_VZuLeZyZRyuh6r-R0HyA/s640/blogger-image--1968261681.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Our route today. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHrf2BnFUG0_6Do2BTlFVDwdkW0niqLmbJ0f9BC_qORuuHdspeYdSZaVmc2kAgwkwGp1mCnEjn7BoGxLnDCcuwtZE8zo5IY7EmZQOnljhlNzE3ixtGoimecjcg4QwDaCNesBSFQl-Ja-A/s640/blogger-image-1959949481.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHrf2BnFUG0_6Do2BTlFVDwdkW0niqLmbJ0f9BC_qORuuHdspeYdSZaVmc2kAgwkwGp1mCnEjn7BoGxLnDCcuwtZE8zo5IY7EmZQOnljhlNzE3ixtGoimecjcg4QwDaCNesBSFQl-Ja-A/s640/blogger-image-1959949481.jpg"></a></div>Heading out of camp this morning</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0TaKYwi6KLVd7jWNu5Q6JC5DlcM2eJYSd4sDDdiKa_PS5eoZDXQrsm2tEV9o7iCA7HnLUS_EC5vLfvWDPrgeDNLglvACXpsuVatZnsYAwfczoRenzO4KLWdlyCjX7WbohNiT-E_BWtU8/s640/blogger-image-1099457363.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0TaKYwi6KLVd7jWNu5Q6JC5DlcM2eJYSd4sDDdiKa_PS5eoZDXQrsm2tEV9o7iCA7HnLUS_EC5vLfvWDPrgeDNLglvACXpsuVatZnsYAwfczoRenzO4KLWdlyCjX7WbohNiT-E_BWtU8/s640/blogger-image-1099457363.jpg"></a></div>So many duck moms escorting broods of ducklings along the canal this morning.

It turns out their son opened a pizzeria on East Carson St. in Pittsburgh and Thick Bikes came to his opening. His favorite bike shop is Thick! And later at the afternoon rest stop, the girl running it, I found out, used to live a couple of blocks from Thick and got her bike there too! I also met someone from Brockport today!

One trail, through, is a work in progress, the Ludlum Trail. It was VERY rocky and hard to ride! At the end we went into a park and it was our lunch stop. This is where the extra adventure begins. I got to lunch and discovered my phone had fallen out of the holder and was gone! I figured it happened on that bumpy trail so I left Jim to eat lunch and turned around to go back to look for it. However, somehow I missed the trail and went an extra 5 miles or so down and back before I found the trail. UGH! Then, as I was on the trail looking for my phone, people were finished eating lunch and heading back down that trail. Someone told me that someone found my phone and my husband had it. Now one of the ride organizers called Jim and said we would ride and meet up. I rode most of the rest of the afternoon without finding Jim and without my phone! Eventually I got to the afternoon rest stop and waited for Jim and we were once again riding together. I didn't manage to get lunch but snacked while waiting for Jim. It was only 7 miles to the campground, most of it along the Black Creek Canal Trail. Kind of like riding the canal back home except there are palm trees, it's all paved, and there are very different birds!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH0Hh1BgqcoAqJj6HYHPJY4qjZvBawPqIsxn8y6QVBbDRG8wFOcuvO2EOdjRqEwVEv4Ma32Uc1qA7UqRr-HNFj2QAalg1jZeCazM9kO8ZepZEBi3NPtq1eP36Mo7knp5iEk0HzJ46cKS0/s640/blogger-image-1761731873.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH0Hh1BgqcoAqJj6HYHPJY4qjZvBawPqIsxn8y6QVBbDRG8wFOcuvO2EOdjRqEwVEv4Ma32Uc1qA7UqRr-HNFj2QAalg1jZeCazM9kO8ZepZEBi3NPtq1eP36Mo7knp5iEk0HzJ46cKS0/s640/blogger-image-1761731873.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQXq2LYg2vJnV2jpvqkZoWComyYfY5jqNr_0df6AQS2R013bBAxRPrI901O36DMSmW11IIJBpLIapvFJv8Le1hszNVFmxy6K43EabdtzNMhWLNGdvoc8dBzIJHfksg9G1Tvy2_oK08zk/s640/blogger-image-149621679.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQXq2LYg2vJnV2jpvqkZoWComyYfY5jqNr_0df6AQS2R013bBAxRPrI901O36DMSmW11IIJBpLIapvFJv8Le1hszNVFmxy6K43EabdtzNMhWLNGdvoc8dBzIJHfksg9G1Tvy2_oK08zk/s640/blogger-image-149621679.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It was nice to get off the city trails and onto a quieter trail that was more scenic.

The traffic today traveling from Macon, GA to Lake Placid, FL was <b><i>much</i></b> better than our drive around Atlanta yesterday! It was a beautiful, sunny day! We stopped off in Lake Placid for a short visit and dinner with some old friends that we haven't seen in years. That was great! Could have sat there all night talking! But we did move on down the road a short distance to Clewiston, FL, on Lake Okeechobee. It claims to be "America's sweetest town" in the heart of Florida's sugar industry. </div>

As I have been shopping online at each leg of this journey for a hotel for the night, I've been choosing hotel buildings no higher than 2 floors and with exterior access to the rooms. My thought being that we didn't want to have to deal with hauling the bikes up in elevators. The 1st 2 hotels happened to put us on the ground floor, so that was perfect. Tonight's hotel put us on the 2nd floor, but it was still easy to bring the bikes up 1 flight of stairs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tomorrow we have just a short 112 mile journey from here to Homestead, FL, and then our bike tour leaves from there early Monday morning.</div>

The weather was very snowy through West Virginia! We couldn't even see the mountains at times! There was so much road salt, snow, and road spray, our bikes got really messy!<br />

After the tour ends, we are staying another week to explore the Florida Keys on our own. So we packed the bikes onto the car and hit the road a few days early. <br />
<br />
In the spirit of real adventure, we haven't made hotel reservations ahead of time for the journey down. We are driving each day until we feel ready to stop and then finding a place to stay the night. Today we stopped in Pittsburgh, PA for a short visit with our son, Colin, and then continued on. We went to the Ohio River around Wheeling, WV, then crossed the river to the Ohio side and traveled along the Ohio River Scenic Byway for quite a distance. Although it wasn't a sunny beautiful day, it was still nice to leave the Interstate for a while and see a countryside we've never seen before. Around St. Marys we crossed the river back into West Virgina and after a while were back on the Interstate, through the capital, Charleston, and on to Beckley, where we stopped for the night. A little shopping through Orbitz.com on my phone while driving and we found a hotel and nearby restaurants. I love traveling technology!<br />
<br />
This is definitely going to be an adventure of "firsts!"<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>First time we have taken a vacation this long (15 days)</li>
<li>First time we will have gone to Florida without attending a tech conference or a Disney property</li>
<li>First bike tour we've gone on in Florida, first one together, and Jim's very first one ever</li>
<li>First time we've driven to Florida instead of flying</li>
<li>First time we haven't made reservations ahead of time for all the places we'll be</li>
<li>First time I've shopped for hotels based on how easy it will be to get our bikes in and out</li>
<li>First time we've shared hotel rooms with our bikes</li>
<li>First trip to southern Florida and to the Keys</li>
</ul>
<div>
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about all these firsts and this great new adventure we are on!</div>

This ride will be along the Great Allegheny Passage (the GAP), which is a rail trail and mostly flat, not the mountains I rode the last time I was riding in Pittsburgh at the end of August. However, it will be a long ride, a "Metric Century" (62 miles). In preparing, it has caused me to reflect on my last ride in Pittsburgh, what went right, what went wrong, and what lessons did I learn to help improve myself. I've been meaning to write this blog post for a while and am finally getting to it.<br />
<br />
<b><i>The Good Ride</i></b><br />

The PedalPGH ride route that we had chosen this year was the Metric Century, which included much more climbing than the 25 mile route I had done twice before. In the past, Mt. Washington, the most challenging climb and climb and climb, was at the end of the route and we had kind of figured we would skip it if we didn't feel up to it, and that would make our ride about 50 miles or so. But, lo and behold, this year, they changed the route and put Mt. Washington at the <i style="font-weight: bold;">beginning</i> of the ride! I am thrilled to say, although very challenging, I made it to the top!!!<br />

<b><i>The Good Ride Gone Bad</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That first part of the ride, while gloriously challenging, began the spiral that eventually caused me to fully and completely <b><i>bonk</i></b>. If you are not a cyclist, you may wonder what it means to "bonk." Actually, even though I <b><i>am</i></b> a cyclist, I didn't fully understand bonking until this experience. I have had tired legs before, or felt wiped out at the end of a long or challenging ride, and I always thought that was bonking. Maybe those are cases of mild bonks, but what happened to me in Pittsburgh was so much more! As I kept riding, hills I had tackled in the past were too much for me. I had to get off my bike and it was even difficult for me to <b><i>walk</i></b> up them, needing to stop and rest frequently. My arms and legs ached. I felt winded almost all the time. My stomach was woozy. I felt light-headed and slightly dizzy. I really wanted to go on, but with every pedal stroke I felt less and less capable of going on. And, I was disappointed and angry at myself and losing focus. <a href="http://www.ilovebicycling.com/" target="_blank">I Love Bicycling</a> has <a href="http://www.ilovebicycling.com/bonking/" target="_blank">a good article about Bonking</a> that explains it in a little more depth, but I think this image captures it pretty well!</div>

It was several days before my body felt completely back to normal. And I was very much reminded of how much a role you mental state plays in all of this as well! It took a week before I was once again on top of my mental game! I didn't ride at all for a couple of days. Then, when I did begin riding again, I only took short toots around town for running errands and got no joy out of pedaling, even for those short distances. If you know me, you know that normally I say that I <b><i>ALWAYS</i></b> feel good after a ride, even a short one! I felt like I was trying, not so successfully, to crawl out of a hole (or maybe to pedal up a mountain)!</div>

Finally, after about a week, one beautiful, sunny day, I went for a ride and could feel that joy coming back! It was one of those days when I just hit the road and kept on going, nowhere in particular, just taking in the sunshine and the scenery and pedaling and pedaling. So, why did this all happen to me? What lessons did I learn? How can I prevent this in the future?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>Causes and Lessons Learned</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think there were lots of contributing factors as to what caused my bonk in the first place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Dieting - Although I was eating clean and healthy, I had been eating reduced calories and reduced carbs leading up to the ride. Not the right pre-ride nutrition I needed for a ride that would be so challenging.</li>
<li>Ride Day Nutrition - I didn't eat a good breakfast before riding and I didn't eat well or often enough during the ride. I didn't bring food with me and the rest stops were lacking, so I wasn't replenishing anything I was burning up.</li>
<li>Hydration - I thought I was keeping hydrated, but I don't think I had had enough before the ride and obviously needed more during the ride as well.</li>
<li>Fatigue - I had done a lot of riding leading up to this ride and maybe I needed to take a rest day before hitting Mt. Washington.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><i>Reinvigorated and Using What I Learned</i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what now? Use this experience to be better prepared in the future! On longer rides or more challenging rides, I am forcing myself to do what my brain has known all along but didn't always do.</div>

<li>Drink plenty of liquids leading up to a long or challenging ride and during a ride, drink <b><i>before</i></b> I'm thirsty and drink often.</li>
<li>Let go of the diet and have different pre-ride nutrition ahead of long or challenging rides.</li>
<li>Take lots of nutritious, energy replenishing snacks with me always. The article cited above has great suggestions for the type of food that can make a difference. Stop and eat <b style="font-style: italic;">before </b>I'm hungry and make myself stop periodically during long rides to snack.</li>
<li>Rest! Don't be afraid to take a rest day before a long or challenging ride. Make myself stop pedaling and take breaks during a ride. Enjoy the scenery and small parks.</li>

<b><i>Preparing for the 321 Ride</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Knowing this ride will be a long one, I tried to go for lots of rides at home leading up to this. I also did my own Metric Century Plus along the Erie Canalway Trail from Spencerport to Medina and back (66 miles). That trail is similar to what I will be riding on the 321 Ride. I put into play all the lessons learned, nutrition, hydration, rest, etc. It was a great ride and now I feel totally prepared, and a bit wiser, and can't wait for tomorrow's ride! As one of my favorite songs says, "Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again!"</div>

This time instead of biking, I'm riding the rails! When you retire, one of the first things people ask you is if you are planning on going on any trips. Well, this is my retirement celebration trip! <div><br></div><div>We're on the first leg of a new adventure, enroute to Chicago. Traveling with 4 fantastic friends and my husband we are taking a vacation by rail heading from Chicago to Glacier National Park in Montana and then on to Seattle. Since this blog has been primarily about cycling, I considered creating a whole new blog for this trip. But as I reflected, I realized that this too is an integral part of my "becoming." It's a new adventure, the first major trip I've taken in quite a while that didn't have a conference attached to it or a work responsibility waiting for me the minute I get back. I feel so free and easy and relaxed as well as excited about whatever lies ahead!</div><div><br></div><div>So I hope you'll enjoy reading about my travels over the next 2 weeks. I'll post pictures as well as often as I have some sort of Internet connection, which may be spotty while in the glacial wilderness. Stay tuned . . .</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557029538572316491.post-35795689041884605232015-04-22T18:05:00.001-04:002015-04-22T18:05:24.653-04:0030 Days of Biking - Day 22 - Happy Earth Day!More errand running in town today. Love my new bag! I can use it as an eco-friendly shopping bag inside the store, can fasten it onto my bike for transporting, and if it's empty, it folds flat and snaps shut. Perfect for all my around town errands! As long as it isn't raining, that is, but I have waterproof panniers I can use on rainy days. And the best part is that I bought it from REI with my member dividend, so it didn't cost me anything!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-qbQmDEJXHh0Y5FdC-IMOAfsEs3AE1Sa6P_DHScDw4-XDDNSwtMVNeHV5bHs5OJYV3sfo5xrNbBmPLa6EidynFRASV-sJWGMBXVdKgIsxRHO1B0Za4gBf4Xc8o835yCApYagcrttT_98/s640/blogger-image-346219375.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-qbQmDEJXHh0Y5FdC-IMOAfsEs3AE1Sa6P_DHScDw4-XDDNSwtMVNeHV5bHs5OJYV3sfo5xrNbBmPLa6EidynFRASV-sJWGMBXVdKgIsxRHO1B0Za4gBf4Xc8o835yCApYagcrttT_98/s640/blogger-image-346219375.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAw1NhrcizdAygdtsirvxVvH_vvdY4GInDw-Ag7_2jKjgpAZ8aHopjnoOj-MFM7aPOKXE-mEq6fnxCaZ217bNGDWdnfRbCoG8dmnf5v_IYwPmspDR7jRrj7eVIEnycKZukGO23iC2HBps/s640/blogger-image-1209578557.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAw1NhrcizdAygdtsirvxVvH_vvdY4GInDw-Ag7_2jKjgpAZ8aHopjnoOj-MFM7aPOKXE-mEq6fnxCaZ217bNGDWdnfRbCoG8dmnf5v_IYwPmspDR7jRrj7eVIEnycKZukGO23iC2HBps/s640/blogger-image-1209578557.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOAlvyT8UyrCPaXGNW2RuhsMlBxoYszMuLU2d3RGWbnPpzFrtPYENsDAF_cP98ChyW87TL0wKfGSDwtylZbhWXEjpKq3n9zjLAPnlgtBmOMq3eLtoR2z7I5HdH9FLfzrtTfmer76UqdVY/s640/blogger-image--1487539047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOAlvyT8UyrCPaXGNW2RuhsMlBxoYszMuLU2d3RGWbnPpzFrtPYENsDAF_cP98ChyW87TL0wKfGSDwtylZbhWXEjpKq3n9zjLAPnlgtBmOMq3eLtoR2z7I5HdH9FLfzrtTfmer76UqdVY/s640/blogger-image--1487539047.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557029538572316491.post-88418988373217055822015-04-21T13:31:00.002-04:002015-04-21T13:31:49.032-04:0030 Days of Biking - Days 20 and 21<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For the last couple of days, given wind conditions and a busy schedule, I haven't had a chance to go for a long bike ride, but I have been doing my errands by bike as well as a little biking around our village. <br />
<br />
One of the personal advantages of having made the 30 Days of Biking pledge is that it is encouraging me to focus on using my bike more for around town transportation when I need to run to the bank, or the store, or the post office, instead of hopping into my car.

First to CVS to pick up a couple of things, then over to Subway to get some subs for dinner, and finally over to our favorite frozen custard place, Abbott's, to get dessert before dinner. The funny thing is that my husband was running these errands with me, but he was in the car, and I was on my bike so that I could be sure to get my riding in for today. Now to curl up under the new bicycle patterned blanket my granddaughter and I made today and relax enjoying my favorite Sunday evening PBS shows on TV.<br />

Today was a spectacular day! So sunny and warm and my daughter, grandchildren and I spent the entire day outdoors! We did a little family biking again, this time with Jacob on his own bike instead of on the trailer attached to mine. He sure did a lot of pedaling, nearly a mile, which is a lot for such short legs! <br />

On Fridays in the spring and fall I organize an afternoon ride with people from the school where I worked as well as some other friends, family and community members. Our 1st Friday ride of the spring was last week but it was so windy that most people opted out. So this Friday was our 2nd ride of the spring, but it felt like a celebration of riding together again! The sun was shining, there was no wind, and the temperature was in the high 60s! One rider brought her young son and I brought my granddaughter. We had a great time together, riding around the village route, some once around, some time and a half, and some twice around. That's one of the things I love about this group. Our rides are easy going, social, and everyone does as much as they feel comfortable with or have time for and that's okay with everyone! No pressure, just fun!<br />

I rode from my house to Spencerport to the canal, and then along the canal to Brockport and then back home the same way for a total of 30 miles. It was a great ride and makes up for taking such a short ride yesterday! <br />
<br />
The canal is emptied every winter and hasn't been refilled yet. I think they begin filling it on May 1st, but I'm not 100% sure of that date. It was kind of interesting to see things like docks and spillways and such that are usually underwater when the canal is full. <br />

<br />
There were some spots where they are doing some maintenance on the canal banks and where they have had to bring in the necessary equipment, the tracks have left some rather bumpy ridges in the path. Hopefully when they are finished, they also do something to smooth this back out. I've never experienced this on the canal before so I'm not sure how it gets resolved.<br />

Today marks the halfway point for 30 Days of Biking! Time is flying by! Although it's another gorgeous spring day here, I didn't take a long ride today. I've added a daily workout program to my attempts to keep getting fitter and healthier, and my legs are killing me! So I took today as a recovery day from biking and just took a short trip into town to the bank and to try out my new cycling shoes (my other cycling shoes were way too tight and were causing much pain). So, deposit made and new shoes are a winner! Tomorrow I'll take them on a longer ride - maybe along the canalway trail. </div>

Just a little over a mile and a half. When my meeting was over, I had originally intended to just come back home the same way, but the sun was shining, warmish spring temps, and so as I headed out of the parking lot, I turned left instead of right and headed out of the village toward the lake. I really only intended to go as far as the next cross road, Curtis Rd., and then turn there to head home, but as I approached the turn, I just kept on going. That turned out to be my mantra for the day! <br />
<br />
A little snippet of a Paul Simon song kept playing in my brain <i><b>. . . "<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">I'm on my way, I</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"> don't know where I'm going.

I <b><i>LOVE</i></b> that kind of a day! Being retired, with nothing in particular I absolutely <i><b>HAD</b></i> to do today, I could afford to just go wherever the road and my spirit took me. So I went on down to the lake and then headed back towards home, taking various turns here and there and ending up finishing along the village bike route again, for a total of 13 miles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I love riding in my little, quiet village, but I've been doing a lot of that lately and so today it felt really good, and <i><b>very</b></i> freeing, to get out into the wide open spaces outside of town again! Here are a few pictures I snapped along the way.</span><br />

Today was a fantastic day for cycling! The temperature in the morning was already in the 50's and later in the day the sun came out and it went up to 80! All day I used my bike to run around town doing errands here and there and then in the late afternoon I went on a ride with my friend, Denise, just for fun. A total of 13.33 miles today and all of them gloriously enjoying spring! I was so busy riding, I totally forgot to take any pictures!</div>
