Recently I have been training about 2 hours a day, mostly riding, but also strength training and PT for my back and hips. My body seems to tolerate it well and it feels good.
Some memorable rides included last Tuesday when I rode with my group to the end of Redwood Retreat Road and back, posted here on Strava. Then on Sunday I did a heavy workout consisting of upper body strength training and PT, followed by a quick ride on the Coyote Creek Trail to Bernal Road, via the Monterey Highway on the way back. I also threw in some tough intervals. It was great at the time, but I was pretty tired afterwards, so I took things more slowly yesterday.
I’ll be visiting my brother in a few weeks in Phoenix and want to rent a bike while I’m there to ride some canal trails. It will be a right. Since I normally ride a recumbent bike and haven’t done as many miles on my upright recently, my butt isn’t as strengthened as it should be, so I’ll be doing more miles on the upright in preparation, as I did. on the rides last Tuesday, Friday and yesterday.
