Feb-19-23: More Short Errand Rides

All in 39/14 gearing + standing all the way. 

I could do this route in a bigger gear, but ... 

And standing all the way is a training exercise, 

More mental than physical, I reckon. 

 

 

Feb-19 

 

More follow-up to my recent exercise adventure. 

Not following-up on the exercise adventure, but following-up on the reason for the exercise adventure.  

 

1.6+ miles each way.  3.2-miles total.  9min in-motion each way; i.e., 18-min total. 

Almost all on sidewalks. 

[An interesting thing I learned from reading the "Harry Potter" books: 

In Britspeak English, "pavement" means the same as Amerispeak "sidewalk."] 

 

 

Feb-21 

 

More follow-up to my recent exercise adventure. 

Not following-up on the exercise adventure, but following-up on the reason for the exercise adventure. 

 

1.6+ miles each way.  3.3-miles total.  9m,25sec going, 8m,15sec returning; i.e., 17-min total. 

Almost all on sidewalks. 

[Wind-shift between going and returning?  Or just more loosened up?]

 

 

Feb-22 

 

More follow-up. 

 

1.6+ miles each way.  3.3-miles total.  9m,29sec going, 8m,35sec returning; i.e., 18-min total. 

Almost all on sidewalks. 

[I absolutely know that there was a wind-shift between going and returning. 

Even though there were only 10+ minutes between -- a storm front was moving in.] 

 

 

Feb-23 

 

More follow-up. 

Future such errand rides will be for other reasons. 

And there are plenty of other reasons in the offing. 

 

1.6+ miles going.  1.9 miles returning (simplest way to avoid a car was to make a small detour.) 

3.5-miles total.  

8m,42sec going, 10m,00sec returning; i.e., nearly 19-min total. 

Almost all on sidewalks. 

 

 

These are NOTHING stories, but I'm trying to get back into the habits of: 

1. riding more often, and 
2. blogging every ride, soon afterward (that used to be the "required" protocol). 

 

Those are my stories for these rides, and I'll be sticking to them.
