voodoo donuts

Trip to Portland was cool. Especially voodoo donuts...

dirty old bastard, voodoo, memphis mafia, arnold palmer, mango tango, maple bacon bar... yum

I met a group of touring riders just finishing their cross country tour after graduating from JMU. They left from Harrisonburg PA, and ended up in Portland Oregon. Nice! I bought their donuts and we got a picture together.

Need a plan

Biking a lot of miles, but until my foot gets better, it is hard to consider serious racing...

Off to Oregon next week - maybe I'll get some inspiration!

Bike to Work

I've been doing tons of miles into work. Averaging over 100 miles a week on my bike commute alone. I have a couple of 160 mile weeks. My car is feeling neglected.

It is tough doing this back to back to back.

Basically it is 20 mile ride, 8 hours off, 20 mile ride, 12 hours off, repeat. It's not the mileage, but the lack of recovery that makes this difficult.

I definitely try to do some easier rides, but I get bored and impatient going too slow.

Typical Stats for my commute:
average heart rate ~ 130
elevation gain round trip ~ 2,200
average speed ~ 17-20
commute time ~ 56-75 minutes
