..... Also, my nightly leg cramps have been improving. I'm not sure that's a function of the exercise, or the change in diet, but it's all good.

I have really bad leg craps as well. I've had them my whole life. What i have discovered is that I need potassium. A banana a day keep my leg cramps away.

Gah... sustained riding at 24-25mph... intense climbs... my contourroam flying off my bike... what a ridiculous ride...

My HR hit 207... that can't be good.

We'll see, I have a busy weekend. 777 calories according to strava, 1245 according to Garmin (there is always a huge variance). Pretty intense morning ride.

Must be nice.

I think I have a case of the 'Tuesdays'...

Me too... Mo, Larry and Curly are in rare form today.

Sadly, it's something relatively mundane that's really ticking me off.

In the Canon Loyalty Thread... there are people complaining about getting refurbished cameras with - gasp - close to 10k clicks. The Canon Loyalty Program isn't setup for people to score sweet deals; it was designed in order to help people that had an older camera that was non-functional to recycle it, and give the person incentive to replace the camera by giving them 20% off of Canon's already reduced price refurbished cameras (and thus not have Canon repairing things that are out of warranty and probably more expensive to repair).

The people that complain about not getting low click cameras just rub me the wrong way; you're ultimately paying ~65% of retail for a camera that's been refurbished and returned to factory specs, and includes a 3 month (extendable via 3rd party services like Mack, etc) warranty. I can understand if you get a camera with over 25000 clicks (which someone recently reported) as you don't know how vigorously the camera may have been used, etc, but 10k and less, what are you expecting?

Sorry for ranting.. just irks me.

that would be like buying a car from a rental place. few miles on it, but driven the **** out of it

Yeah i can see by your AVG/BPM. You were in zone 4 for most of the ride. Sign of a good training ride

I'm going to have to figure something out. Lois is getting faster on her walking, which means my rides are getting shorter. We just got back from the morning walk, and she took less than 20 minutes to cover her 1-mile route. I got in a whisker over 4 miles in that time, and had a top speed of 22.5 mph at one point. I'll never be a sprinter; it just about killed me.

When we started this, she was taking that long to do a much shorter route. In many ways, she's showing far more improvement than I am.

I don't think anyone in the group was under 40-45 either.

But yeah, I try to live in zone 4... but I also try to avoid break 200bpm. I've never even come close to 207, I felt like crap for a few miles after that.

that is great Chief, give Lois a high five for me!!

What do you use to track your mileage?

I use MapMyRide on my Blackberry. Also available for Android and iPhone.
