My First Team CBC ride - almost
My comments about attending the ride
Turtle is riding the 42ml - my be a tiny bit long but the 26ml is too short so I will see what I can do - I have ridden over 50ml already this year so I should be OK. I am pleased I finally get to do one of these rides.
Why I almost made the ride - :(
Well my first ride with CBC was short - went there and left with the 10:30 group but only got to the second turn when my chain broke - it only has 600 miles on it. Tried to fix it but gave up and went home - real sorry to miss the ride and meeting and see you all after the ride - I will try again next time. I am home now - will eat lunch - fix the trike and try to do a local Garner ride.Well not much of a day for riding but not a bad day working on the chain.
I decided to clean it thoroughly and this is what I found! CLICK HERE
I only got one picture but here it is. CLICK HERE
Pugslyyy reported to me that the link to the images was not working - I fixed it and here is my reply and comments to him. -
Sorry Puglyyy I had the permissions set wrong - please try again and let me know if it works.
Here is the LINK again.
Man I am bummed I missed that ride - I still want to ride but it is still 90 degrees here in Garner.
I am planning on Raven Rock next weekend (at least I think it is next weekend - I may have to get a planner to keep track of the rides) but hope to be there for May 10th.
OK - well I did get a short ride in. When I use to ride in Louisiana about 10 years ago I would have called this kind of ride a Burner - if there is a more accurate term let me know. For me a Burner was a ride where one had limited time for some reason so one would ride as hard and fast as possible until out of time. That is what I did. I did it on Timber Dr and Hammond Rd - out and back - full length of the two roads.

This was a nice run and not bad traffic this evening.
My weight was 363.7 pounds today.

Selma Cyclepaths - Easy Rider route
My post ride comments -
I had a great ride and I want the thank the Cyclepaths folks for making me welcome.
HERE is my GPS data from the ride.
Here is a link to the photos I took on the ride.
I however did not do this ride intelligently. I had planned how I wanted to do the ride basing my plan on it being a 26 mile ride but when I learned it was modified and was 30 miles plus I did not change my plan. My ending mileage was 32.6 on my cycling computer. I did not bonk, I had been eating and drinking regularly but at 26 miles I did hit the wall, at least that was how it felt. I really suffered the last 6 miles and that big hill at the end was a killer. When I stood up to get off the trike I got light headed, that had not happened before. Moral of the story - Plan your rides - Ride your plan - BUT if your ride or route changes change your plan.
My comments to remarks about my computer settings -
OK I am working on my cycling computer to see where I have an error. I had measured the wheels rolling length and put it in and I had heard that cycling computer could be if properly set more accurate than GPS do to the inherent error built into publicly accessible GPS data so I just assumed my GPS was wrong. It is important to me to have accurate data. I will let you all know what I find.
I am riding Raven Rock so I will not be there this coming weekend.
My weight today was 364.8 pounds
