In the last ten days I’ve done 9 rides for a total of 475 miles. Heading home tomorrow and will do two Cleves time trials, the Ohio state tometrial, make a trip to Tennessee and then back up to Michigan for their state 5 and 10 k and then back to Traverse city for 5 […]

I threw in some random intervals just for fun. 13:30 (first two…7 seconds for a stop sign separates them) at 338, 30 seconds at 464, 572 and 524, 3 min at 375, 5 min at 325 and 5 min at 302. I used the road ahead to determine some of the times. Had some nice

Had a three hour ride on the schedule and this was completed in 3:05. Went from Boyne City to Charelvoix with maybe 1/3 of the ride on bike trail and the rest on the road. Not much traffic so that was fine. The section from Charlevoix to Petosky was all bike trail. Given the road

Had an amazing four day on Isle Royale National Park covering about 50 miles in four days. Trails hiked include Rock Harbor, Tobin Harbor, Still, Suzy’s Cave, Moskey Basin, Mt. Franklin, Lookout Louise, Hidden Lake, Lane Cove, Daisy Farm, and Greenstone over a few sections. Also did some kayaking in Tobin Harbor.

Left at 6am on this one to beat the heat but still hit upper 80’s by the end of the ride. Good power overall, and picked it up the last half with some ‘challenger’ on the bike trail. I love when I politely pass riders and they seem to almost take it as a challenge

I rode solo at 5:30, just as the rain stopped. Did my minimal;a 20 minute warmup in a light shower after the major thunderstorm ended. Air was cool at 69 degrees, density altitude at 1700, so not a fast night. Power was pretty good. Just tried to ride steady. Only my third ride this season
