Ha! She'd be on the ground in .15 seconds (I'd last .25). No, she rides one of these, but all black and without a dorky basket on the front.JennyB wrote: ↑08 Jul 2019, 9:22amLike this?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Jul 2019, 8:31amSpeaking of bikes, the Boss rode to work for the first time this year. She has one of those faux old-timey nerd bikes, with three gears and braking by pedaling backwards. But she's probably the only human who rides that kind without a goofy grin as she goes.

I swear I used to be able to do that in closer to 30 min. Its mostly flat. I was also 20 something in those days.
I was passing people left and right on the first leg but started dragging on the latter half of the second leg.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Got delivered a new bike seat. Anyone who does a lot of cycling knows that spending too much time on a bike seat leads to, um, numbness in the nether regions. Like falling asleep on your arm and waking up unable to lift it. So I'm trying out a seat that has a hole cut down the middle to alleviate pressure. Crotchal freedom!

It's the nerves in the perineum that get cut off and cause the numbness.revbob wrote: ↑09 Jul 2019, 4:42pmWait women get numb dick too?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 Jul 2019, 3:45pmWill do.

Just did the same ride 12.5 miles in a little under an hour with a 5 min break at the half way. It felt much harder and I would have thought it took me 15 min more than it did. Was gassed near the end and my knees were aching.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Even tho I bike indoor in the off-season, it's never quite the same as biking outdoors in terms of muscles, so the first 5 or 6 rides out on the road would always be a fucking grind. I'd begin thinking, fuck yeah, I've kept myself in good shape, and by the end of the ride feel like I'd done nothing for conditioning since last fall. Within a couple weeks, tho, the stamina improves.

Re: IMCT Running Club
My problem is consistency. I need to keep at it. I got home from work changed and then laid on the bed for a few minutes and started dozing off. I managed to get my ass up and out though. Tomorrow is a softball day so I probably wont ride. Im thinkg if I can do every other day that will be pretty good.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 Jul 2019, 5:36pmEven tho I bike indoor in the off-season, it's never quite the same as biking outdoors in terms of muscles, so the first 5 or 6 rides out on the road would always be a fucking grind.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Four days a week is a solid schedule, especially if there's other exercise in there. It gives your legs a chance to recover. Also, when you get back from your ride, drink a beer to rehydrate. Supposedly it's legit good for you and it's inducement to ride.revbob wrote: ↑09 Jul 2019, 5:50pmMy problem is consistency. I need to keep at it.
