The Longest Ride...

Well I went out biking again with my brother, and he ended up taking me for a ride that was longer than planned, again. I'm not complaining, but I sure was tired afterwards. I better start to see some results soon, or I will be pissed off. If I can cycle this far I want to look it.



And here is the overall trip distance...



And this is how long I was sitting on that tiny little racing seat...

How To Walk Like A Penguin

I went cycling today with my brother and we ended up taking a much longer ride than originally planned. I went along the Ottawa River bike path to meet him half way (we live at opposite ends of the city). Well I got all the way to Lincoln Heights before I ran into him, then I turned around and went back to downtown, past Sussex, and onto the Rockcliffe Parkway. When we got to the end of the Rockcliffe Parkway we turned around and came back.

It was a long trip, at 60.29 km. It was funny because when I got back to my place, the odometer was at 58.4 Km, so I rode around the block a couple of times so that I could get the full 60 Km.



The ride took just over 2 and a half hours.



And my average speed was 23.08 km.



With a max speed of 41.81.



In all not a bad ride. I haven’t done much cycling this year yet, so I’m really feeling it this time. At least I got my funny cycling tan, and now I'll walk like a penguin for a few hours.
