Inner City Bike

Giant mtb with a few serious accessories.

9.13.09

Too much eating the last two days. Had to offset it in the spin class. According to the heart rate monitor, I burned off only 980 calories, which is less than when I do 15 miles around the Rosebowl. Funny, today spin class seems to take more out of me than than the ride yesterday. Hope I can stop eatting now...

9.12.09

Another Rosebowl ride. Keeping it easy. Worked on lower resistance, high cadence. Finished in about 58+ minutes.

9.11.09

It was a Friday night, but the wife wants to hit the the gym. Seems like a good idea since I missed out on spin class the day before. Did weights - 2 exercises for chest, back, shoulders, and one for biceps, and tri. Cheat day started. Hope I can stop.

9.9.9 hmmm

Did spin class at LA Fitness on 9.9.9 - Wed. First time in about 6 months. Got a pretty nice high after. I should do it more often. Probably 70-75% effort overall, but was absolutely soak at the end. Too bad, didn't get to use the heart rate monitor. Hopefully I can come back next Mon and Wed.

9.7.09 When the smoke clears

Finally the smoke cleared, the fire moved east. First time in two week since I ride. I joined Chris and Johnathan at the Rose Bowl for the five laps. They had already been there for 3, by the time I arrived. But I was doing weights at the gym when I got the word. Didn't pace myself very well, I thought I was stronger than I actually am, burned out by the 2nd lap. Thrown in a climb on the 4th lap to make sure Chris had some work out. Johnathan call it quits by then. It was a little warm, but the occasional breeze, the blue sunny sky made for a great ridding day.

Been waking up everyday to smoky sky. The fire that started in La Canada is now over a week old. Only workout of the week came on Monday. Hopefully tomorrow.
