Conditioning

Went for a 4hr ride today without running out of fuel , ain't done that before .

It was a lot of back roads that only amounted to 212 km (130 ish-miles).

Anyway , my sitter was tired of sitting by time I got back home. Tongue

The winter months didn't seem that long butt , I'm going to get -- re-conditioned -- to make it all the way to Lancers this May !

Anybody else finding the winter was longer than it seemed ?

I don't know about my sitter - I took the Ninja Cafe' bike out for a ride Monday night, and I only got 4 miles before the dark clouds started to sprinkle and chase me home (I rode toward the black clouds so that when it started raining I could turn around and run away).

The winter in KY was very mild this year. We only got to the single digits for a few days, and we only had 1 or 2 snow events - however it was still too cold to do any riding.

The weather right now does allow for an occasional ride - but most times the weather is really good I am at work!

Been record setting event here in the PacNorwest....
The lack of sunshine even has the conservative bunch complaining like libs bout everything Grin

No kidding, it is a proven study lack of vitamin D causes emotional distress in folks.
I sit on the ferry typing on my iPhone, all garbbed up in my raingear, again Angry

I am giving serious thought to buying a big enough boat to keep in a slip, and live a few months during the winter, after I retire...in SoCal, by my kids.

I know NOT having to venture out in the crummy weather after I retire would help, maybe, not sure.

I think all this strange weather must be because Trump signed a new executive order repealing all of Obama's effort to make life grand, maybe Kiss

In between the monsoons though I managed to keep riding the entire duration of it. Now I need to focus on getting the seasons accumulated crud off.

I left Saturday morning at 6:30am for an all day ride , (Big G trucking company --ride for St.Judes ) . It was about 30 deg. when I left the house and got up to 70 deg. before the day was over. If the day was a woman we would be saying " what a mood swing" . Grin

It was a lot of back roads that only amounted to less than 250 miles , but took 6 hours. No more sore seat !

This morning at 5 AM it is 38 - with a promise of 70's and sunny this afternoon. I am going riding today!
