tyrion Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Awesome Vicki. Even if I didn't come up with a lame excuse, Gail's Birthday, I could not have done 100 miles in 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Sounds like some fun. Big achievement. Too bad about the hills and getting dropped, riding for 45 miles by myself would have been terribly boring for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomana Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks, guys! Sounds like some fun. Big achievement. Too bad about the hills and getting dropped, riding for 45 miles by myself would have been terribly boring for me. It wasn't boring (I like boring); it was hard. Between the hills, the wind in the flat sections, and the heat, I really would have loved to tuck in with a group and get carried a bit. Waiting for the thunderstorm to stop, so I can go eat. Maybe it will be cooler tomorrow because of it. Oh... and Mike, stop all the rucking around and get back on your bike, at least a little bit. December should be fun, but not if you haven't been riding at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp11801 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'm going to try 40 tomorrow after a two week lay off due to knee injury, did 15 miles today and the knee held up well. I plan to take it easy and just enjoy the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Congrats Vicki! That's awesome! Me: Been riding with my father in law who only started riding a few months ago and he's been pushing me really hard. Lots of fun. Just uploaded to strava and set KOM and moved up a lot of leader boards. Feels good. 2 more days of riding. Huge thanks to Jeff for loaning us the Calfee for him to ride.

VPI Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Dammit, I liked 7th place. Now I need to go back to jump over that John Fox dude to get back my rightful 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 If that is his best I think I can take his spot. I have to imagine I will pick up some speed by using the little ring for the climbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Not near his best I'm sorry to say. I am not sure of the relative now but a few months ago he was faster than me by a good margin. He's a good guy though. He and his wife are cool. They were visiting me for that ride.

VPI Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I am going to take both of their spots, even if I have to buy my own house down there for training. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 heh, at those prices, no reason not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 You are more than welcome to train with me any time we are down there. You can borrow the house if we aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah, I think I have a long ways to go in simply getting in shape before I starting chasing records. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Jeff and I are riding tomorrow at 10, if anyone wants to meet up. Either W&OD or Mt Vernon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Have a great ride guys.I hope to ride too. If I don't get going in the morning then the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Have fun. Did 62 miles today, but managed to stay with a group the whole time, which was much nicer. Since everyone was tired from yesterday, they went at a pace I could handle. Total for the weekend: 231 miles. Glad I accomplished what I wanted to do, but I don't think I'll be doing this again any day soon. I'm tired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
