April Mileage-age
Filed under: mileage, record keeping
Posted by: The Cyclofiend @ 10:19 pm

Kinda fell off my game the last couple of weeks, riding-wise.  Didn’t stop riding, per se, but had both other priorities and a distinctly weird lack of energy.  I’ll blame the weather a bit, as the temps dropped down to double-wool and a wind vest layers and the winds were just weirdly gusty after the ridiculously warm weekend mid-month.  Still, that’s no excuse exactly.  Heck, it’s no excuse at all.   So, we’ve ended with a month mainly of errands and commute runs, with only one plus-50 mile jaunt on the docket.

On the non-grumbly side of things, I ended the month with my fourth yoga class (two per week), which has already helped a bit to unkink various bits and joints. Even helped me put today’s disappointment into something resembling perspective. The disappointment is not cycling related, and as such not particularly related to this space.  And anyway, I think it’s going to work to my advantage a bit in the long run.

OK.  That mystical paragraph behind us now, here are the numbers:

Shorter rides this month, but I could see that was the way things were shaping up, so probably harder efforts now and again.  Right about 350 miles
in 17 “riding days”.   All Quickbeam-fixed miles, except for one loop on the MB1.

4 Yoga Sessions.  No running. Missed the SFR Russian River 200K as I was in class (not a yoga class) that day.

    I find the yoga to be essential. Everything tightens you up, running, biking, whatever, particularly if you do it a lot, and yoga provides the necessary therapy. that ashtanga stuff isn’t bad exercise either.

    thanks Rick! I can feel pretty direct benefits after only these four sessions. There was a guest instructor last night and she normally does the more advanced classes. I’m feeling pretty “worked” in a few new places.
