Riding season has begun. Actually it started on Mother’s Day. Dh and I have done several rides starting at 9km, then 14km, then 17.5km, then yesterday a 20km ride with hills! Ouch those were tough but so rewarding.

I'm also strength training 3-4X a week. I love the warmer spring into summer kinda weather.

We are already planning our biking road trips this year! I really can’t wait.

August will be a staycation so day bike trips locally are planned and then a 2 week bike road trip is planned. Trails and trestle bridges!

Headed to the treadmill first thing this morning walk class while wearing my weighted vest

Another 20km in the books. On the plus side we had our favourite food truck as a break.

Still working out but sometimes it’s been limited to walks but that’s been after an extremely physical work day but also biking. Yesterday was a 27km ride with 3 overpasses and a hill climb, and gravel trails which are my favourite. It was just over 20 degrees but with above 70% humidity so while it wasn’t the hardest ride it was a workout. I ended up changing on the street due to the heat! Ok, so I just took off the sleeved shirt I had underneath but that’s extremely difficult when your hot, sweaty and covered in sunscreen .

A ride is planned for today but not sure exactly what it will entail…….

Yesterday was a 20.5 km ride and it was beautiful. Today is recovery day which means just walking also since I have a busy work week starting tomorrow.

The plan on Canada Day was to bike which we did but I’d hoped to get 50km on my 50th but it was a bit later of a start to the day so it became way to hot with all the hills and trails so I called it at 38km. Still a fantastic ride but not exactly what I’d hoped for.
