Skinny Tire Thursday


 Hot hot hot! Heat index 102 degrees. Yikes! 20 miler spin with 1 KOM effort. Rolled through New Carlisle then NE to Walnut Grove. I was taking plenty of water bottle showers over the head to stay cool. Rudy in the wind is always fun. Every time I ride those roads I get nostalgic. I miss those days with Keith on Rudy. Looking back to see everyone in the hurt locker was so fun. haha Hard to believe that was 20 years ago.  Good times! 

Venga!

Cow Country Wednesday

Fun 27 miler on old Ramble roads. It was a hot one for sure. Good avg tempo tho. Rode by Keith's house as I headed to the truck. Great memories. Shorter rides in the heat for sure.

Skinny Tire Tuesday

The heat & humidity come tomorrow, but today's ride was killer. I parked in Medway riding NE up near Thackery & back. 30.5 miles on the Madone SL6. I miss the days of working in Springfield when I parked at Northwestern H.S. Love them roads. Corn is off the hook. Third day in a row after a rest week. The legs are coming around. I'll do some efforts tomorrow for sure. This year has been the most road riding with all the trails closed. It's been fun. 

Venga!

Triple Ridin' Monday

Triple ride Monday. Commute to work on the Silver E. Then a quickie 16 miler on my Madone SL6 from West Milton before dinner at my Dad's. I went back out for a 10 mile night ride on Silver E. Turbo mode is so fun. haha The weather was nice. 73 degrees. I wish it would stay that way, but the heat is returning.

Sunday Ramble Ranchero

Back on the bike after a few rest days since it was a rest week. Fun 46 miler with Josh. Many roads on the old Sunday route over to Terre Haute. Lots of great memories. We stole one before the storms. We came across this Trump sign in the middle of nowhere. haha

Sunset Thursday


Another long & busy day, but got out for a 21 mile sunset ride on my 5.9 Madone. I  rode from the same location as last night. I hit the Swanny Swan Strava segment that Howard & I did last night. I tied my KOM last night,  2 seconds faster for a new KOM with no tail wind. Yeah! 

Venga!

Wednesday Night Delight

Back at it after a rest day. The storms rolled though leaving sunshine & dry roads with Howard & Josh. The corn is crazy tall. It blocked the wind coming back. Howard & Josh put in a ton of intervals on Strava segments. I rode the 5.9 Madone again. Good stuff. 34 miles of fun in the sun! Mooooo!


Venga!
