Did you ride today? (7 Viewers)

I’m in.

I’d be happy to organize for a Southern AZ weekend/3-day adventure ride kind of thing for the fall-spring time period: October - April.

Gravel bikes/hardtails/single speeds. There isn’t much for the hardcore full-sus guys doing jumps and enduro/downhill kind of thing down here in SoAZ. Sedona and the stuff farther north is there for those folks.

Dude. I’m 51 years old, I generally keep both wheels pretty close to the ground now. But that’s just me.

Ya, I stick to XC and general trail riding on the MTB side of things. Will do some descending but the brakes are my best friend out there. Also a roadie but would like to add a gravel bike to the stable. Just need some gravel to ride it on first.

You’ve seen the pics I’ve posted about the riding here. Happy to facilitate some great riding here. With former and current pros who love guiding and riding with new folks. Totally down to earth humans.

Sounds like a good time. But I currently only have road and MTBs. Plus I'm old and not sure I could keep up.

This would be an all-inclusive, No Child Left Behind ride.

How do we feel about virtual rides around here? Started up another training block today in Zwift.

Shhhh, I don't wanna hear that after doing FTP intervals yesterday on the trainer. 200 watts for a sustained 15 minutes is not fun lol

Heck, yes, I rode today! Spanked out the fastest, longest ride in Mass. this season. It helped that the humidity finally broke and the temp was a cool 73*F.

Maybe the weather, maybe the tough riding in Vermont, but I absolutely crushed the hills this morning. Felt like I was using a roadie cassette on the rear wheel. Small gears only!

14.12 miles mostly, rocky, rooty, single track with 875 feet of climbing. 9.9 mph.

Between a very wet spring and weekly mileage goals I set for myself plus a recent crash/injury I’ve logged the majority of my miles on the road this year. Out here trying to shake the rust off…

With it raining all day here yesterday, off-road was out of the question. Road riding today. Nice change of pace. Fast, punchy descents and climbs. Smooth road. Very little traffic, thankfully.

She’s turning out to be a great little shop dog!

Yesterday I went to play into thin air! At this altitude the sun was burning like hell! Cayambe volcano in the background. All this with my 1995 vintage Daccordi bike.

Out again this morning. Early to beat the heat, although quite humid again.

10. 5 miles and 559 feet of climbing. Nearly 100% of the ride in the woods.

All in all, felt really good.
