2026 cycling week 19

May 4-10

I tried riding the XL loop but I found I wasn’t burning enough to meet the Apple Watch May Challenge. I added a 2 miles mini loops on Thursday which made the route 13.7 miles. That worked so I rode it again on Friday.

I did my usual errands on Saturday.

I saw that I needed 25 miles on Sunday to get to 100 miles for the week. But I also needed to go to Sprouts. I ended up going to Flatwoods for a loop then Sprouts. And since I still felt good at 20 miles, I rode some more to make sure I went over 100 miles. This is the kind of Mother’s Day I enjoy, a nice long ride.

This week 110 miles (Strava 105)

This year 2,200 miles (Strava 2,110)

Streak 2,262 days

April 27 - May 3

On Tuesday, my e-bike wouldn’t connect to my iPhone. I messed around for several minutes before rebooting the iPhone fixed the issue. I started later than usual so I did a shorter route, 11 miles.

Athlytic app says that I have been doing too much so maybe this was a good thing. I did the same route the rest of the week.

I did errands on Saturday.

On Sunday, Andy & I rode to Wiregrass for books and pizza.

I am torn between letting my body recover and riding all the miles I can. Too many goals I want to accomplish.

On Sunday, I rode two large loops plus a little extra for 26 miles.

The mornings were still in the lower 60s but some days were windy. Florida is not like the rest of the country where March tends to be the windy month. April is windy.

I did errands on Saturday.

Andy & I rode to Wiregrass and went to Barnes & Noble. Then we crossed over SR56 and had lunch at Pizza Mania.

Andy then rode home alone while I went to Publix and McDonald’s. I still beat hime home.
