Wednesday - Thursday

 

Busy Tuesday, so I took a rest day. Back on the Fat bike Wednesday morning with a interval ride around Fundalia. I hit Zwift for 35 minutes spin in the evening too. Fatty Thursday with Josh. Seated high cadence hills along the Stillwater Valley. 1,000 ft of climbing. Legs felt good. I hit Zwift before dinner for a 12.4 miles crit. Made the main break and finished in 15th place. 276 avg watts. Another great day in the saddle. 

Venga!

Double Monday

New week after a rest day Sunday. Got out for a 30 miler in Brookville late afternoon. 52 degrees. Wow! Winter seems so long, yet so short when you get to ride in Snow. lol I'm ready for Spring tho. I spent Sunday working & cleaning all my bikes. It takes hours when you have 4 fat bikes, TT bike, 5 road bikes, 26" MTB, & an E-bike. haha 

I got home about 7:05. Turned on Zwift and raced a 21.8 mile TT with 1,000 ft. of climbing. Ran high cadence most of the way. Good effort. The two climbs were good ones. The main climb was a beast. I took 3rd place. Good day in the saddle.

Fatty TMBA Saturday Video

Thursday - Saturday Fun

Catching up a few days here. Easy 45 minute Zwift ride Thursday at 20 mph avg. Fun 2 hours Friday at TMBA. Took a bit to push down some fresh powder but felt great. Back to TMBA Saturday for 1 hour 45 minutes. 13 degrees when I started. Things were thawing quickly too. I stole one. 10.6 mph avg for 18.5 miles. I had great traction. That might have been my last snow ride. Long range forecast looks warm into March. What a week of riding.  What a Winter too. I'm on some great form. It's been pre 2020 pre Covid since I've felt this strong. Did a 20 minute Zwift spin in the evening too. Yeah!

Fatty TMBA Monday

Back on the bike after Florida. I had a good 4 days rest. What a training camp. The legs felt great every day. The sensations are there. The hard work is already showing positive results. I miss Florida, but we had fresh snow.  I hopped on Zwift for a solid 31 mins of tempo this morning. Power was steady. After lunch I headed to TMBA. Sunshine & 16 degrees. 2 hours 11 minutes of pushing snow down. The snow packed pretty well each lap. Should be great tomorrow. Last ride in Florida was 78 degrees. haha I was toasty warm today tho. Finished the ride at 20 degrees. LOL Be back tomorrow for more fun.

Florida Day 6 Video

Florida Day 6 - Fatty Pine Log

Final day for Josh & I. Tim here until March. 😎 Day 6 back at Pine Log for another 3 hours. 77° oh yeah! We wwrw rolling from the start. The guys were flying. We finished up and Tim told me to go for the Crooked Creek KOM 4.5 mile loop. Despite 6 days in a row & 2.5 hours in the legs, I went for it. I felt great taking the KOM by 27 seconds. Not bad for an old guy on a fatty. 🤘Joshium was on fire. He scored some well earned trophies too. He aint just a roadie folks. Big Tim may be on an E-MTB but he’s not going slowly. Tim’s avg heart rate matches his efforts before his crushed artery & knee replacement. This is a great case for ebikes. Animal! Proud of these guys! What a trip! Video later after one more trip to Mcguire’s. Mooooo!

Florida Day 5 Video

Florida Day 5 - Eglin Trails

Florida Day 5 at Eglin AFB with these animals! 73° today. 3 hours 10 mins in the saddle with 1,053 ft. of climbing. Not bad just a few miles from the ocean. We time trailed Carbo Killer trail 90 mins into the ride. Big Tim was supersonic on that thang. Haha I felt pretty good at 19:16 for a new PR. Josh did a great job at 21:26. It’s twisty with some good uphills. Trail is mainly pine needles & roots mixed in with some sand which makes it challenging on the corners. We rode some new trails too with Smokey & The Bandit references . Lol No gators sightings at the pond tho. 🤷‍♂️Josh just needs to jump in and swim to get them out. 😂 Kidding. 😎 Great ride fellas. 🤘

Florida Day 4 Video

Florida Day 4 - UWF

Florida Day 4 in Pensacola at UWF MTB Trails. 3 hours / 1, 360 ft. of climbing of up, down, twisty, & rooty fun. So many off shoots on the RWB loop that we always get turned around. 😂 Big Tim was all smiles. 🤘 Josh earned an A+ today. He crushed all the uphill rooty tech stuff that normally gets him grunting in frustration. 🤣 Great job fellas!
