9/25/2016 13.12 miles

Their will be pain, their will be craving coffee and did I mention craving coffee.  :)    So far so good today did a 13.12 mile ride and my cracked tooth is not bothering me, so today was a good day riding with hubby.   
Now let's see 1,089.87 - 13.12 = 1,076.75 miles to go.  :) 
I can't wait to see were these new trails go to.  

Just for a reference 1,089.87 mile is almost like cycling from Los Angles California to Longview Washington.   That 1,090.00 miles.
  

1,089.87 MILES

I added up all our rides sense I started this journal and we gone 1,089.87 miles.  WOW!   I also estimated all the little riding we did and add it. 6 miles here, 5 miles their and what not.   Cool Beans.  :)   

9/23/2016 ME: 0. LEGS: 2 21.52 miles total

I totally thought my hubby was not going to ride to day.  And we got home and he was like let's do a ride.  And I was like waaaa I want to go with you.   So considering, I got to wrack up the cycling.     Did 21.52 miles and hubby did about 9 miles.   

Boy did we go out at the wrong time.  Came around the corner were their a school and the kids were getting out.  We got stuck in a crowd of about 20 teeny boppers on bike. Trapped.   Their were so many of them it was really difficult to escape.  In order to escape we had to get into the other lane of traffic and speed up really fast. Going up to 20 mph we cleared the pack easily.   One of the show off who though he was going really fast, eye's got really big when we past him and two of the girls at the front of the pack were like Whoa!.    Riding around kids and teens freak me out, because their all over the place and they don't pay attention, basically their unpredictable.   And when your riding in the part they don't get out of the way they gravitate toward you?    

The second ride with hubby was fun, and I still felt great.   Actually when we got home, I could have kept going.   I think the reality of whats coming up with my mouth is making me want to keep on going.

Yes I'm wigging out.  The whole time I was typing the other blog I had bike on the brain.  Yes the desire to ride is that strong.  I sound like Yoda.  "Mmm Strong is the desire to ride is with this one."  Yes I took a chance and yes I feel great.  No pain today and my legs are purring like kittens.    And no Vultures to stalk me today.     The whole ride I felt pumped so I'm really happy and feel real good.    Why oh why is going fast so fun.   Yeah I'm bad their a guy I've been racing every time we meet up, but not like ready set go.   I was stopped to grab some water and he passed me, I did not follow right away, my intention is not to race him.   So I take off and it took me a good while to catch up with him and it wasn't till we got to a up grade that he dramatically slowed down, and I was able to pass him.   As soon as I did he stated to peddle harder, but he could not pass me.   Yeah I'm a stinker.   And like I said before I get dropped to, but I can handle it and know when I've lost.  But some of these guys is so funny they can not accept me passing them.  And I have to admit it's fun chasing them.    
But doing it to another woman that all daggers!   Going up hill is my specialty, I can really fly on a up hill grade, and that where a lot of them lose their speed, even if it's 2 miles less, that all I need.
I chased a guy going from 1 mile to Mansanita and we were flying 17 to18 miles  As we were flying he passed another guy on a bike who decided he needed to keep up with him, he didn't even notice me chasing him.   When we got to the slight grade on the road that is when they both started to have problems, not me, but what made it choice was the dumb founded look on the guys face. That make it worth the chase.  My size fools a lot of people.   The first guy will not look at me.  LOL I've seen him more than once in the park and the first time I dropped him I could hear him heaving and panting behind me.    When I ride hard at 21 to 23 miles, which I can only maintain for seconds that is when I heaving and panting.

Well water and ho hum.   I can't win.  Trying not to get to depressed.  My back lower tooth on my left side cracked horizontally right about the gum line. And it was not due to eating any thing....sigh.   Soft and weak teeth run in the family on my mom's side, along with lot's of spelling error's, so it is what it is.  I'm on antibiotics and pain meds.  Yesterday I was like I could not stand not riding and I did a ride anyway.   But it did hurt a little after the ride so.  :(      So October is going to be sad for riding.  I really hope this is over soon.  And to make things worst I found two new exciting bike routes to take, oh the irony.    
What was kind of funny on the ride this time was their was absurd amount of vultures dispersed along the whole trial.   No quail, no squirrels, just vultures.  Is someone trying to tell me something? hmmmm   I swear there must have been at least 35 to 40.    And their was one perched on a stump super close to the path, it would have make a excellent picture and yes I had my camera, but as the old story goes as soon as you stop it flies, so I didn't even bother.   So I can hope for is my legs don't explode while waiting for this tooth storm to path.

 Well what ever was going on yesterday it's over. Today I felt great even did 5 reps up the hill.  I think my favorite part of going up hill is the look on people faces.  That's the best motivation, when they think you can't do it.  And then I do it 5 times.  Bwhaaaaa!      It's really amazes me how intuned with you body you get when you ride on a regular basis.  Ride enough and your legs shut up, not even a peep. Don't right enough their in your face screaming at you.  And if you don't ride your whole day is ruined.  And you become hyper aware of what goes in your mouth.  Coffee Yes.  But if I eat a pizza,  I can 

or any fried food which is very rare for us, it turn me into mush and I'll feel like crap.

Not an exciting day yesterday.  In fact I didn't want to do a bike ride.  Hubby did so I grumpily followed.    Some days are better than others, today was not one of those days.
