14.5 Miles 11/8/2016

How cool is this I got to paint a Atari Christmas.  :)       This was a 3 hour job.   
Then did a 14.5 mile ride and included 4 time rep up the hill.    Saw a sun dog today and took a picture of it, but the camera faded the image.  :(     So I posted one below.

From Google.
 Sundogs form when sunlight passes through hexagonal, plate-shaped ice crystals in cirrus clouds, which act like a prism and refract light, according to a NASA release. Also known as parhelia, they can be seen anywhere in the world, but are most visible when the sun is low in the sky.

9.2 miles 11/7/2016

 Paint SUSHI KING Today 6 hours, including up and down on a step stool.  That a really good work out. ;)    Then afterward my hubby and I did a 9 mile bike ride thought tons of bugs.   Ya Protein.  I think I ate about 2 and choked on 1.  Yuck.  

12.12 miles 11/6/2016

I about spit my coffee out this morning when I found this.  It sum's up how I feel about riding on the stationary bike.  LMAO   

Well I'm so happy to be back on the bike and I didn't even let the weather stop me, very overcast, windy and a bit rainy, but I luck out the rain stopped with I got on the bike.    Oh my poor poor tushy, sitting on the stationary bike seat really did a number on me.   Here the run down of how I feel. 
MY WILD MIND:   YAAA HOOO 40 miles or more, 20 reps Hill climbing here we come.  RIDE.
MY RATIONAL MIND:   Two more good rides and I'm be ok.
MY LEGS:  FINALLY!   GO GO GO!!!
MY TUSH:   What the hell are you doing to me, why are you changing seats, I hate you.!  
Yeah I got dropped and I got dropped bad. LOL  It's ok.   But next time, he won't be so lucky....BWHAAAAA!    Well tomorrow is going to be busy for me I'm painting Sushi King and that can range from 5 to 6 hours of ladder climbing.   Depending when I get done I will probably do a ride. After 1 or 2.    This is the first year I'm going to make a big effort to ride after painting. 
So another day another ride. :)

11/4/2016

I swear I can't win.   I just lost my position as the key holder for the rec room, which means I no longer have access to going in and exercising after hours.   It's nothing I did, the corporation change their rules.  Well it was nice while it lasted.   So after my affirmation of proclaiming I will cycle after window painting, well that going to be really difficult now.   On the other hand my bike is in the shop getting some TLC.   I told them to fix every thing and anything.    This bike has been abused a lot, with my weight, long ride and all that jazz.    I just can't wait to be out side again.  I'm sure your seeing a patten really good riding, then fall on my face, then really good riding then fall on my face.    What can I say I'm consistent.    Teeth problems? What teeth problems.    So after the long haul of summer the sweet sound of money is starting to finally come in and I drooling over finally getting my new bike.  I know I posted things way too early, but I (CAN) wait.     I think I said this before, but we both abused the first bikes because how did we know that we would ever do long rides and take cycling seriously.   The were just meant for going to the college and back or riding to the 2 1/2 miles to the park.      So all in all it will have been a full three weeks of being off my bike and riding 45.6 miles with in those three weeks.    Feel the burn. LOL      What I am really looking forward to is climbing.   My legs feel the best when going up hill, don't ask me why.  When I did the 71 miles towards the end, I was more at ease on the slight up grade then I was doing slightly down hill.   Cycling is a drug, literally a drug.  I need to be back on my own bike to get that high.   That is why I had the melt down with that stationary bike.   It's not the same, the spinning wheel is so small and no matter how high the resistance is, it is not the same as actually climbing a hill.    Poor hubby has no time to ride he's up to his eye balls in test and more test.   He rides every once in a while just to control his legs from wigging out.      Well my bike will be fixed this Monday or Hopefully Saturday.   Can wait.

SIGNING OFF 11/1//2016

Wait? What?  Window painting and Cycling do not mix. :(  This is normal for me this time of year, I am I window painter and my customers are starting to book orders.  :)   So bike even on the stationary bike it a no go. :(    Oh well it was bound to  and it happed last year and the year before.   I not going to die.  And I will still be getting plenty of exercise up and down and up and down the ladder, and believe you me I'll be moving daily. LOL   However when I order my new Diamond Back I might pop back up.  ;)   Hopefully soon and if I have the time.     Talk about the craziest feeling, I been feeling my bike helmet on my head, is my brain having with draws?    I swear.  Hubby's sharing the pain with me, he's rides by him self, but it just not the same.   As for my teeth.  HA HA HA HA.  I'll just say the tooth next to my crack tooth which on the x rays is healthy just cracked today.    Oh well.    I turn 42 on the 12th of November, so bring it on.  ;)    As long as I'm standing up right I'm ok.    If you see me laying on the ground some were all I ask is drag me over to a tree and prop me upright. ;)  Thanks.
