To Patrick"s point of warming up. I'm not necessarily old enough to comment,
being 48, but I've never knowingly warmed up. I think recovery time and method
is more pertinent. If you worked hard yesterday, did you eat and drink and
sleep well afterwards? If not, the body might be still

Thanks. I'll take all of that under consideration. Way it is now, I'll go
for a 35-40 mile ride at 12.5 -13mph and when I get done my legs are tired,
but otherwise I feel fine. I believe I'll keep things that way for now.

1) In spin class, *YOU* control the intensity level, no one else. 2)
You can have the same elevated heart rates during road cycling that you
can in spin class. 3) In your opinion, how old is "too damned old" to
risk an elevated heart rate?

While I loathe indoor workout machines (rowing & cycling) I have friends who
really enjoy spin classes.
Some of them don’t ride bicycles out in the real world but they use these
workouts to get and stay fit.
They enjoy the social aspect of spin classes, some get wicked fit.
Not a problem,
Exercise - good
Fresh air and sunshine - bad?
Hope it comes with a vitamin D supplement.

I've been missing my rides as my bikes didn't get back from vacation until

As I wrote the subject line of this post it occurred to me that this list
includes folks who are into rondenee riding and certainly don't need to be
encouraged to ride more, and may even be happier riding less, but this is a
post about riding more... often.

of Just Ride is on sale:

Hi friends, or 'kia ora' as people say here in Aotearoa/New Zealand! I
gave my kiwi nephew James a copy of Just Ride for Christmas and it appears
to be changing his life. He's read half the book and already is saying
that he bought the wrong bike (a racer) and would like a commuter. But
I am pretty sure one of those pictures is more about the bike than the

I haven't read the book yet.
I've ridden bikes for more years than I admit, most of that was 'club' type
riding with friends. The focus was on fitness and speed. As I aged that became
less fulfilling and I rode less and started avoiding the climbs.

Ideal commute. What is yours?
Mine would be: ~ 10 miles one way, no big hills or regular winds
outbound, some hills to climb on the return to make things
interesting; much if not all on a wooded, paved and (at the commute
times of day) little used bike path.
[Aside: I was annoyed when I commuted
Mine is about 35 miles one way. About 3500 ft of climbing coming home and
finishing with a 2 mile 8% hill.
Needless to say it doesn't happen more than 3 times a week.

I am impressed: 2 miles of 8% is no easy walk! Not to mention 35
miles. I'd want to do 35 miles on the bike and find another way for
the return (I'd often take a detour one or both ways to add up to 10
miles for a total of 40 rt, but that wasn't something I'd do 5 days a
week, week in and out.
I'm 55 and it sucks almost every time I ride it! Some days I'm hoping
someone I know will pass me and offer me a ride.
Strangely, on my Riv custom a 39 x 30 does me just fine. But I have a Seven
which is a good 8 lbs lighter and I can blow up the hill in a. 39 x 23. Go
figure.
On Sunday, May
Oh, weight, beyond a certain point, does indeed matter, as do light
wheels when you have appreciable climbing. I plod contentedly up even
steep hills with the amazingly heavy Big Apple Fargo wheels, dropping
into the 36X34 at the steepest parts when pressures are sub 20 psi and
I have a load, but
Likely most will get the notice but just case: Grant was interviewed
for tomorrow's Morning Edition program on NPR. Should be a lot of
fun.

Riv fans in Madison WI... check it out! Maybe the library system will buy
