Cycling blast from the past #02

Cycling blast from the past #02

Biggar, U.K. July 2004

I don’t actually remember what the occasion was other than it was an organized public cycle ride. Karen Lamb, on the left, no doubt was instrumental in encouraging Emily and I to participate. I do recall being horrified that I had to jump off the bike and push us up one particularly steep hill. We were using Patty’s Edinburgh Bicycle bike and boy did it have a heavy frame.

Cycle Training 2020 #22

Week beginning May 24th, 2020

I started on track but as the week progressed the threat of thunderstorms kept me from getting my mileage fix until Saturday when a NNE wind encouraged me to visit my old friend “The Big Tree” at Lamar. Knowing that the wind will be behind you on the way home is a great motivator to keep going.

Overall mileage for Saturday was 24.4 miles at an average speed of 9.4 mph which is kind of slow but that’s a consequence of stopping to take so many photographs!
