Reviving the Pack: BionicOldGuy Leads Group Riding

[ad_1]

I took it easy with my riding on Sunday and Monday and my back continued to improve, so yesterday I was able to go on a longer group ride. Sunday I did an out and back to Gilroy on the backroads through San Martin on the east side of our valley, for a pleasant 80 minutes. Monday I started out with a session of 20 minutes of arm-cycling, followed by a brick cruise of 1 hour 40 minutes on the Coyote Creek trail. Both these rides were on my recumbent. Yesterday I rode with the group. I first rode to my friend Kris’s house and carpooled to the start at the Mendoza ranch entrance to Harvey Bear county park. From there the group did an hour and 40 minutes up in the hills. Counting the ride to and from home this was a bit over two hours for me. My back felt fine through all of this, so I am encouraged that I can now (carefully!) get back to my usual training.

Sunday’s ride is posted on Strava here, Monday here, Yesterday here.
