2009 Ride #16

View Larger Map

Not sure why I don’t listen to myself. I told myself that I wouldn’t attempt Emigration again on Sunday after Saturday’s aborted attempt. Sunday was supposed to be about spinning easy for a fair amount of distance trying to loosen up the legs, which still felt tight.

But no … started spinning, [...]

2009 Ride #15

View Larger Map

Yesterday was not a good day on the bike … my legs felt tight from the beginning (which is nothing new), and since spinning easy before pushing myself usually loosens things up, I headed up towards Emigration.

This was a mistake, I think. I could never really find a decent rhythm (slow [...]

2009 Ride #8 (semi-recovery)

The miracle that just might be the Flahute’s “comeback” continues.

Legs still sore from yesterday, but still felt the need to get out there and turn my legs over a few times. Down Holladay Blvd., into Cottom Bottom, then up past the Old Mill to Wasatch. Wasatch to 33rd South to 20th [...]

Allegories of life …

After a not so wonderful day skiing yesterday, and staying out way too late last night, I figured today would be a good day for a bike ride … close to 50 degrees, overcast, but not raining or snowing.

Rolled out about about 1:45, and just spun to where my legs took [...]

Heresy, or prophesy?

Sometimes being Big Ring is knowing when NOT to ride in the big ring …

The way my legs feel right now, I’m certainly glad I never used any gear bigger than the 39×14, and even that only briefly; mostly 39×15 or 39×16.

Hopefully, they’ll be less sore and twitchy in the morning so I [...]

No legs

One of these days, I’ll remember to pull my camera out of my jersey pocket and take a few pics while I’m out for a ride.

No legs today … turned around near the mouth of Emigration Canyon just past the golf course behind Hogle Zoo. Still put in about 24 miles, and 1400+ feet [...]
