More pretend biking

I went back to 24 Hour Fitness and rode the pretend bike again.  Still no traffic there.  ;-)   I set the machine to level 9 and held a 85-90 cadence and a 130-140 heart rate for 1 hour.  The little fan outlets on the machine could not keep up with the heat I was generating.  That's what happens when one is out of shape!

Another year, hopefully better than the last.

After getting hit twice in 12.5 months I'm a little shy about riding on roads.  It is just something about seeing a truck bumper go over you as the front tire comes to a stop 18" from your head that will do that.  Neither of the drivers was cited though both were clearly were at fault. :-( When asked why the drivers weren't cited, the responding officers said that the first driver was polite and remorseful, the second incident wasn't witnessed by the officer.  Whatever.

Today I rode the pretend bike in the gym.  Boring, but no chance of getting hit.
