What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Need For Speed

I know I said I wasn't going out for speed today, but half way up to White Plains I realized I was going good and feeling good... so I kept going, pedaling hard and fast... hammering, as it's called... 23 miles, I did... and I got a new personal best... 16.2 mph... my max speed was 33 mph in a 30 mph speed zone, tsk, tsk.

Maybe the secret to increasing your speed is to take a week off between rides... they say you need more recovery time as you get older... but I wouldn't get too many miles in that way... and I definitely wouldn't reach my mileage goal... I'd rather ride every day... I'm not training for the Tour de France anyway, just the Tour de Hans.

Ok time to do stuff... see ya tomorrow
