Yikes man, hope you heal up! Nothing worse than riding a trainer. 15 minutes feels like you just took 10 hours to do a century. lol. I have always wanted to test out one of those virtual trainers though. Ever tried that?

Well, the bug hasn't left me, and has actually grown larger. I've been on an eBay frenzy looking for Campy parts, and recently completed the upgrade. Went from a 9-speed Shimano Sora group to 10-speed Campagnolo Chorus/Record group on my Bianchi! Got out twice this week. My normal 19mi loop on Wednesday and then hit PCH for 30 miles on Friday. Pacific Coast Highway is a bear from Malibu to Ventura. Northbound is practically all uphill and always into a brisk headwind. I made sure that was the first half. Such a bear.

Friday's PCH ride:

This was a 20 day tour to raise money to build storm shelters and to commemorate the 1 year anniversary of the Tornado

This was my first loaded tour, normally I'm riding my road bike.  I don't race but I have a few friends who do and I do some aggressive training rides with them.  Average pace is usually around 23mph with 50-100 riders so definately benefitting from the draft.

That's a pretty amazing feat! How many miles a day did that work out to? How much time in the saddle/day too?

Thanks!

And yeah, Southern California certainly isn't the worst place in the world to ride, or golf, or most things for that matter... :)

Here is my new ride.  Raleigh Technium 440. Got it for $135. Just picked it up a week ago.  First ride I went 9 miles.  Yesterday I went for 13 miles, averaged 14.1 mph.  I am really excited to have found a hobby that should help me lose some weight and stay in shape.

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
