NEW CYCLING MUSIC

Sia - Unstoppable lyrics

 The word kind of speak for them selves.

 
Well right now I need to take a stoppable break.     

10.48 MILES & NOT HAPPENING.

Before Photo.
Feeling find and ready to roll.


After photo.  Not happening about 5 miles in I was in turtle mode and feeling super drained.   I need to take a break.

But hey at least I got in 527.04 miles in for the month,

41.14 MILES & BETSYS FITNESS RIDE

There are lot's of group rides, so I decided to join Betsy's Fitness ride this morning and oh no the group leader was not feeling well.   So Billie took over as group leader. 

Got my casquette today.  I was hoping for a blue one, but because I'm cycling royalty I'm wearing a mauve purple.   
No ego here!

Last day of the month and I'm at 516.65 miles.   
Getting ready to roll out and hey look I'm actually in the picture.   Not hard to spot me, I stick out like a sore thumb. 














Hubby was taking a break in the park from his bike ride and he saw me roll in with the group, so he came with us to get coffee.  Squeeeee!
I was going to ride another lap with him around the park, but I was really hungry.  So we will head back out later toward evening.

31.25 MILES SECOND HELPING, NEW CYCLING SHOES & ENDORPHINE RUSH!!!!


74.93 Miles in all today.

Oh boy I went and did it.  I got cycling shoes, they have clips, but I'm not using the clips.  Holy Guacamoly!  Yeah I'm going faster.

This morning ride was really hard, but I recover pretty fast.  So by the time I went back out I was fine.  And in fact the endorphins were kicking in really good.   
















Fear me!





























43.68 MILES & FRIDAY GROUP RIDE

 Well first off I rolled out with out clearing my speedometer. D'oh!   So I added the 3.85 miles onto it I did, to make it 43.68 miles.  

Good turn out this morning 27 people on bikes. 

This was a hard ride.  Usually and can zoom back and forth and get some good video and photos of the group. But today I really struggled to maintain the speed.   No zoom, zoom.  

And then I suddenly felt like I was going slower and slower and oh that's why I got a very slow flat.  Well thanks to John and some of the other riders they helped me change it.    My back tire has a reputation for be one of the harder tires to get off.
 Ready to roll.


 No zooming pass them.
 This dog had no zoom either.
 We took over the coffee shop.   So much so,  a local new reporter walked in and walk out.  Too many people.   LOL

 Upon getting to the coffee shop.
 Tired.
 3.85 miles added on.


Average speed upon getting home.

1000 BLOG POST!!!!!

WOW Just like that I have type 1000 stories on cycling.

I'm been typing incoherently from May 2nd 2016
to now.

I'm over 17,000 miles
and on my way to 20,000 miles.



I guess I'll just sit down after the ride tomorrow and celebrate with coffee.  

37.02 MILES & A GREAT DAY!


 Fun day today.  Sense hubby is better at doing longer rides I now run into him more often.  So this allows me to do my ride at my own pace and still ride with him part ways.  I joined him back to the 1 mile around. 



What really creepy is the thinner my face becomes the more I see me brother in my face.   Eeeeeee.   Well at least I don't have his lovely personalty.

 
 Heading back with him to the pool.  

 Thursday night market. 























                   When you get home and are trying to take a photo of the speedometer inside and you have a cat.   LOL

22.23 MILES LAST CRITERIUM & A BIT CRISPY!

 No more volunterring at the Airport Criterium.  Boo hoo hoo.

Well today did not go as planed.  I was going join Jenni for hill repeats and then ride up to Centerville with the WOW group.  It was around 103 + yesterday and I think I got a bit cooked.  Because this morning I was not feeling alive.  So phhtttt, next time.

Hey I won a primes!  There is absolutely no proof I raced with the goup, for that matter no visual proof, I was going that fast.  But I got a bag of Cranked.  

Man I love getting high on Cranked.  If you don't know I hate the natural sweetener Stevia because to me it has a awful bitter after taste that I hate.  Cranked is plant based with no Stevia, and you can taste it has no stevia.
This was from google so it's just not me.   (Signature)
Chemical compounds found in the stevia plant interact with both the sweet and bitter receptors, leading to its signature bitter aftertaste. That bitter kick is why, at least so far, beverages sweetened with stevia extracts mix in other sweeteners as well — like erythritol, aspartame, or plain old sugar.    



 Frankie's back!!!!!     
 Lot's of points.
 Hey look I'm not the only druggy out here another cranked addict.
  Mehdi Sattair.................you so bad.  Now every time I see your photo the first thing I think of is the H word.  Hemorrhoids.     That sound like someone name.   Hi I like you to meet my friend.   Mr Hem Orr Hoids.  LOL   Hey you started it.  I'm just running with it.
 Power pose.
 Mike Calsaldo does this very time I take his photo he just freaks out.     The other guy is like nope..... nope a de nope nope nope.
 Ok folks practice time.    Both feet off the ground balancing in place with arms up. 



 Hot dogs, Watermelon, beer, beer.........beer..............more beer.  And a huge chat fest.

 Now we have to wait till next year.
