Riding
Well, I'm about 4 weeks back to riding more typical miles (for me). I averaged 39 miles a day over the last 31 days (1209 miles). That makes me happy. :-)

Nearly 50 Mondays each year, for the past 12 years, I have led an easy paced club ride. I like leading the group around and I think most enjoy following me. Monday's are pretty cool cause for the fast guys it's an easy spin around town after Sunday's race, and for others, just getting into cycling, it can be a workout. Start to finish the ride is about 24 miles and takes us about 1.5 hours. Back in the early days I use to keep attendance all year long for this ride. That kinda morphed into the WRCS as the monday ride got to large in the summer to easily take attendance. Anyway, that's what I do on Monday's.
Alex and I met up and busted out the BOOBS ride... Alex had mentioned the idea to me last year...
After riding during the week with Christian, Bill, and Cruise it was pretty obvious that I'm still off from race shape so I lined up at the back as we gathered at the start. Well, race turned out to be pretty tough for me.. The back was aching quite a bit and the legs aren't really working yet.. Climbing seems to be the worst right now... Funny at the end some of my friends don't want to believe I finished that far off or that I'm out of shape.. They think I was taking it easy, maybe still resting my back... That's truly all I got right now.. It's kinda strange and hard to believe that I'll ever go fast again... Simonster guessed it would be about 6 weeks to get back to race shape... Based on that about 3.5 weeks left... I guess I can deal with that...


About three months ago I confessed that my low back was bugging me...
Hey kids...
Wolverine Sports Club/American Cycle & Fitness
Did Not Start!!! Bah!!! I'd done every Pontiac Lake Time Trial that Tailwind has put on since they started doing them back in 1996. That is until today. The low back pain issue I mentioned here two and a half months ago is just starting to get better and I'm starting to ride again, yea!!! I really wanted to race today just to keep my personal record of PLRA starts alive but my low back issue, my fitness and the dismal weather forecast all combined to have me stay home. :-(


Hey Kids!!!
... yoga.
Finkelstein busted in a post about how he got where he is today, complete with some "back in the day" pics of his former self.
