Biking Finally Slowing Down for 2024

I've had a great summer on my bike! September ended with 4 out of 5 months in a row with 300+ miles of biking. And I've only had 5 months of 300+ miles since keeping track online over the last 15 years, and 4 were this past summer.

Going back to early April, I only had 1 week with less than 41 miles of outdoor riding (through the TC 10 Mile a few weeks ago), and that's when we were away for a family wedding for 4 days. It's been consistent. Most weeks were between 60 and 90 miles.

But on Halloween 2 days ago, we started getting some snow. And it stuck around:

Our side yard Oct 31st.


Road conditions around the state that day.

So my bike ride that day was on the trainer - just an hour of spinning. And then it was cold this morning (41 degrees when I wanted to ride), so I hit the trainer again. I did a workout of efforts of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 minute:

Middle of a 2 hour ride, with some efforts!


I had a good lift this morning too, so while on the trainer,
my HR for the last 4 hours showed both workouts.


Good early morning burn - shirt sweated through!

I love getting in 2 solid workouts by 10 a.m.!!
