It’s been a while since I last rode to my parents house, so with family plans in the afternoon I set out from home just after 11am, hoping to arrive a bit after 1pm. The last time I did this ride<\/a> it took me just shy of two hours and I was left very winded with sore legs. This time I beat my previous time by twenty minutes and felt like I could have pushed myself harder. Sure, I was on a different bike, in different weather, and dressed differently\u2020<\/sup>, but I figure all of that riding earlier this year has actually made a difference.<\/p>\n

Here is the ride data uploaded to Strava<\/a>, if you’re interested. No, I don’t have a wheel sensor on that bike, thus no cadence and GPS-only speed.<\/p>\n

Here’s a few more photos that I took during recent rides:<\/p>\n

· Start of the east loop at Holdridge, known as Gruber’s Grinder. This is a slow, rough, but fun ride.<\/a>

\n· Ducks in a park in Lake Orion while stopping near the end of a ride with Scott.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, back to work for a couple of weeks, then off for another two. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a bunch of autumn riding (read: hopefully cool, dry weather) in during that time.<\/p>\n

\u2020<\/sup> On the last ride I was wearing typical winter riding wear and on a full suspension 29er with a knobby front tire. This time I was in typical summer jersey and bib shorts on my older Specialized Rockhopper Disc with a 29″ front wheel and two Small Block Eight tires. I doubt the suspension and clothing was responsible for 20 minutes, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
