a Sunday Bike Ride in the SUNSHINE!
I did an actual, outdoor type bicycle ride today with a group mostly comprised of Green River Riders.
We met at Cycle Therapy in Kent, and after a last minute tire repair for one rider, we were headed east toward Flaming Geyser State Park.
At about the halfway point, we split up so that some of us could ride up “Hatchery Hill”. I would say that yes, the hill is easier since the weight loss, but it was still painful given my fatigue factor after yesterday’s workout. I’m anxious to go take another run at it with fresh legs.
The two groups converged at Flaming Geyser park, and we headed back at a pretty brisk pace. The first flat award goes to Lee, who ran through some glass only a couple of miles from the finish.
34 miles on the day.

Today, my thighs are still a bit fatigued, but my calf muscles are very sore! I am wondering if I was compensating on the hill and the fast run back down the valley by extending the foot on the downstroke in order to use my gastrocnemius.

What a glorious day we had for a bike ride! it was fun to push on the way back through the valley – I love that ride.
Thank you for the help in changing my flat tire.
I’m sore today, too (think it’s from Sat’s workout as it is mostly arms/shoulders, abs and hamstrings)
