Felt the need to cut this one short since the roads were a little too busy for my liking. Some of the cars were giving me the vibe that they think I shouldn't be on the road. I'm not going to get anywhere near as much distance this weekend as I had planned. It's okay to miss some goals sometimes as long as I keep improving and getting stronger.

A shorter ride but a higher sustained effort.

I went for a quick burrito run in downtown Dallas. Timestamps: Journey to Dallas: 00:00 A quick nom: 2:23:20 The return journey: 2:24:35

T.I.T.S day (time in the saddle) - I didn't push hard today but I had a lot of seat time. With this strategy I accomplished 30 miles and my legs still feel great. So I'm going to try something today. See how far I can go before it's time to come back on a solo ride. Segments🚴‍♂️ Trail #1: 00:00 Trail #2: 10:55 Trail #3: 23:05 Trail #4: 1:55:42

I meant to get out much earlier than this but had some stuff I needed to get done first. This was a short ride because I had stuff to get done after as well but I made time to get at least a little cycling in today.

This was a more training focused ride on a time budget. I did 1 lap keeping my heart rate below 130 and a lap trying to keep it at 150 or higher. It mostly ended up being in the mid 140s through the faster lap. Not the goal but with sore legs I’ll take it.

This brought me to 50 miles for the weekend. It didn't beat my previous best of 55 miles and it makes me a little sad, but my excuse is that I am getting used to a new sleep schedule. This was quite a fun ride for me though. To revisit a trail I grew up on, and to see how unchanged it is, and to tackle a hill I always wanted to ride down. That was nice.

I did this after the Saturday morning beginners group ride. Ended with 30 miles for the day. I'm planning to go out again for another group ride tomorrow for 30-35 more miles for the weekend. This was pretty easy terrain. Nothing over a 2-3% grade and then only for a short stretch.

I didn't do as much hill attack as I had planned. I did 300 ft elevation in the first 15 minutes and then just cruised around after that.

55 miles in one day. That is what you can expect if you join in on this ride. We started in Dallas, cycled to Fort Worth, then took the train back to Downtown Dallas just to ride 10 more miles back to the start. The total elevation gain (according to my telemetry) was about 2000 ft gained. Might be a lot less than that with a more accurate GPS but any time I have ever used GPS in downtown Dalla...
