Easy Rider

I took it easy today and pedaled on the first and second chainrings to campus, around the Ghimgoul castle area, and then back to Carrboro. I wasn't as sore as I thought I'd be (considering how painful it was riding around the Southern Village area yesterday) but I figure it's better to rest a day than keep pushing myself. ~10MPH, 45 minutes, 400 calories burned.

Cycling Part Deux

Today I biked to the house Hope's watching. It took me all of 30 minutes to bike to campus, fill my rear tire up with air at the Student Union, get on the Highway 54 overpass, go into hypoxia attempting to go up the slight mile-long incline that begins at the UNC hospitals and climaxes on Mt. Caramel Church Rd, and arrive at Hope's house. "Wow! You look like a professional cyclist wearing those shades, shirt, helmet and bike shorts! And you ride with such ease!" she said. But of course, I couldn't hear that, because she was laughing too hard at seeing me in bike shorts. I'm estimating my total mileage at about 6-7miles, and my return trip lasted all of 15 minutes which included waiting for the lights and traffic. I'm guesstimating my median speed was about 15 MPH with an average of 12. The trip bothways made me burn off about 500 calories and produce liters of lactic acid.

Cycling

Today I biked to campus wearing a sheer little number by Canari.
When I got there, I avoided the massive potholes and pedestrians and biked downhill to the natatorium and did my best to preserve my body from any sort of harm while my bike frame hurtled down the hill at close to 30MPH, and then did my best to prevent my body from going into hypoxia biking uphill at 4 MPH. Overall, today I cycled 8 miles for 45 minutes at ~14MPH to burn off 500 calories.
