Long Cruise And Intervals

I took my recumbent out for a three hour ride on a beautiful spring day. It was mostly brisk cruising, northeast of Morgan Hill on the Coyote Creek trail, then I crossed over to the northwest side in the Coyote valley and out an back next to the Santa Teresa foothills. On the way back I did some higher intensity intervals.

I did a local warmup near home, then this was the main part of the ride

Group Ride In The Country

I rode with my normal Tuesday group yesterday, on a day that started out gray but turned nice and sunny. We went up into the hills West of Morgan Hill, first around Chesbro reservoir, then up Croy road to the County park at the end, around Uvas reservoir, then through the beautiful Sycamore valley back to the start. I had warmed up for an hour before the start, so this ended up being 3 1/2 hours of mostly easy riding for me. Heading up Croy Road, the country road Karen and I lived on for 24 years More Croy Scenery Swanson Creek (which flows into Uvas Creek) going under a bridge at the Park. There are gorgeous waterfalls this time of year, but you have to hike in to see them, I’ll have to do that soon. from BionicOldGuy https://ift.tt/sGWw87J via IFTTT

He was a successful businessman for several decades, then had a second career as a business professor at Western Carolina University. He finally retired completely in 2020 and did the ride with three other friends shortly thereafter. They also had the support of one of the friend’s wives, Mary Ann, who followed them with a pick-up truck. http://www.Amazon.com/books I’ve read various books about people cycling across the US, but this one caught my eye because of Wayne’s age, which is a few years older than I am. He and his friends also used an interesting approach. They carefully pre-planned the entire route with the aid of maps from the adventure cycling association (which grew from the group that planned the “ bikecentennial ” across the US in 1976). They then pre-booked hotel reservations ...
