Easy Ride
Ride Description:
Out and back and spin. I planned to go really easy. I have struggled for a few weeks with something health related. Although I am on a round of antibiotics, my tests came back negative for a UTI. Still the antibiotics are making me feel weird and I did not want to push myself until I feel as if things are back to normal.

Ride Description:
Out and back and spin on the Comet. The first miles were rough with tight fatigued legs, but as I rolled on they felt a bit better. I need to keep working to put more weekly load on these legs.

Ride Description:
Out and back and spin with Mark and we met Mike and Neal on the return. I was not really up to doing 80 miles today or at least that was my gut feeling. About 15 miles out Mark had already split off and I was alone when I started to fade bad. My stomach was feeling queasy and the heat was getting to me. Usually the first thing I do is finish this ride post and upload my data to WKO. The moment I was in I laid down in bed. I did not bother to shower or eat. With the fan blowing on me I fell asleep in a flash. Wow! That ride took a lot out of me today. Maybe it is time to cut the miles back until it cools off in the fall.

Build Endurance
Ride Description:
I rolled out of the brewery with Mike, Neal and Jeff for a 57 mile loop heading toward Calhoun and over to Fairmont and back. The first few miles I was really struggling with fatigue and rapid heart beat. So much so that I thought I was going to have to bail out. A few more miles later and things began to settle down some, but I was dragging the entire ride. The humidity was at 98% and my gear was drenched in sweat. Felt like my clothes weighed a few more pounds just holding moisture. Looking at my power data there a lot of spikes as a result of repeated hill climbs. This route was drastically different to what I have been training for a while with the steady state type efforts.
