2014-07-29 Lewisville Music

Posted by xaminmo

Strava is broken as of sometime after lunchtime, so only uploading from Garmin. Our route map looks kind of like a slug, with eyestalks. Went to see the Kildares, but Lewisville moved it inside.  There was not enough seating, so after snacks, we went to DQ, then ended the ride.  Temps were cool, and partly cloudy.

A day later, some stats show up, but some places say my distance is zero.
There is still an error on the site about delays.

Lewisville Music Ride

Posted by xaminmo

Ride with several friends, and an unrelated but same surname friend-of-a-friend.
Music was country, but it was good anyway.
Karl and Sharon got photos by some squad cars lit up while the officers were roaming around the bank, looking for someone.

Today was a generally stressful day, so the bike ride was good.
I had a quart of fluid before I rolled, so I didn’t need much in the first half of the ride.

2014-06-17 Ladies’ Ride

Posted by xaminmo

http://omnitech.net/xaminmo/2014/06/17/2014-06-17-ladies-ride/

Sharon invited Karl, Mark and I to join the Ladies’ ride tonight. I wasn’t sure why at first. Then, the starting group was only 4 ladies and 3 guys, vs 10 last week. I thought maybe it was to fill the ranks. However, it was a pretty hard push. 15mph is not my peak effort, but more than I hoped for a recovery ride. Mark and Amanda bailed at the stop (Lewisville Theatre / art museum). I think maybe she invited us as much for personal competition/drive as anything else.

Anyway, the music was mediocre, but entertaining anyway. I had a couple snow cones, a footlong, water, diet coke, and 1.5 bottles of Cytomax Orange. Some gabbing about bike-tech, phone tech, and SharonMPH (in retrospect, it’s 15% higher than statute MPH). Amanda’s tickled by a lot of my normal, dorky comments, so that makes me happy. (One less groan!) It was funny seeing Kathy, Carol, Sharon and Amanda all doing the WOOT WOOT raver girl sound during one of the songs.

I enjoyed it, but I think the inherent competition (ie have to keep up!) of us guys on the ride defeats the purpose of a ladies’ recovery ride. If we ride faster and keep up, then Sharon rides even faster. We have more testosterone, so we build muscle faster, etc. Having one lady bail and 2 falling off the back when there’s Sharon and 2 guys up front probably isn’t friendly/fun for the non-competitive riders.

Inviting us along implies to me that maybe she’s getting restless with the ladies’ ride. She’s always competing against herself, and pushing to ride faster. She’s got a lot of miles already in her legs, so her ramp-up is equal to someone 20 years younger. I worry that she’ll either drive off the beginner ladies, or bail on the concept of a ladies-only ride within a couple months. HH100 is coming up, you know.

This is just my speculation. I read a lot into things, and despite my portrayal, I really do NOT know everything.

2014-03-07 Coppell and Lewisville Ride

Posted by xaminmo

Was supposed to ride with Mike out in Justin, but I messed up my schedule (sleep deprivation) and he had a cut-off of 2pm (start at noon or earlier). I barely made it to a 3pm roll near my house. I feel bad about it, but I’m such a zombie that is was probably for the best.

I only had 4 hours sleep and 700 calories today including the ride fuel for this ride. I’m still not hungry, which probably has to do with having between 250 and 360mg of caffeine today.

This ride started into a monster headwind. The new wheels on my bike helped some because they flex less. Also, I re-centered my brakes, which made a huge difference. I didn’t realize how much they were dragging.

I have no idea how the watts is doing. It may be time to buy a power meter and expensive cranks just because.

2014-02-19 Windy PM Ride

Posted by xaminmo

Puttering around with Sharon, Norm, Felipe, Mark, and Glenn.
It was more of a social ride, but I couldn’t hear for the wind.
When we picked up the pace, biggest spread was 1/4 mile.

I have 130km to ride this Saturday. MOAR REST!

Round trip loop, so I averaged these for power calcs.

I need to fix the hard-coded wind in my calculator.
Figured out Strava’s calculation issue:
They assume zero wind.
