The first month of 2010 flew by quickly! It has also been one month since the onset of our weekly Tuesday-noon bicycle rides at Corpore Sano. Last week we had a record number of 7 participants! Three of us enjoyed the 50 degrees of sunshine today. We rode out to Woodinville and climbed up Hollywood hill. We also got to enjoy the new “Euro” round-abouts that Woodinville is putting in on Woodinville-Redmond Road. One month of weekly rides has made a significant difference for me with regards to tolerated speed on the flats, climbs, and metabolic management (meaning, I don’t “bonk” after 45 minutes of riding).

Please come join me on the Tuesday rides from Corpore Sano in Kenmore at noon! I have not had a full-on rainy day yet (hope this doesn’t jinx it!). We typically ride for about 1 hour.

Takes a while for this hard candy to dissolve. A good treat to keep you “nose breathing” for your endurance ride, an intensity governor of sorts and a reminder of my northern European roots.

Tuesday’s ride was great! It stopped raining 2 minutes before the ride and was no rain the entire ride. It started to rain 20 minutes after I was done with the ride. I ran into my friends Stacy Wingard and JoAnn Sittig on the Sammamish trail. They were doing a taper run as they are planning on knocking out the Rock and Roll Arizona Marathon this coming weekend. Go get’em ladies!
