38km Route Acceptable, CCW

Wednesday midday discovery of Route Acceptable

591 miles in 2010.

Today, I found Route Acceptable (paraphrasing Fripp). Mostly country roads, some with small rollers, some shade, some wide open spaces, golf course, light traffic most of the time, only a few busy crossings. Lots of potential to connect to longer road rides from Carol Stream to the rest of the world. I am interested to see where Stearns might take me when I am in better shape. Lots of smashed frogs.

2010-07-02 Route - 19 km ride around the neighborhood

Wednesday - back on the road again - 18.5 km

556 miles on the year. My first road ride in a month. Just 18.5 km, but I got a feel for the local roads I will get to know much better. It was getting close to 4 PM and rush hour was looming, so I came home. Computer not working so times and distances have to be estimated.

77°F and mostly sunny.

Start: 15:15:00

End: 15:55:00

Total Distance: 18.63 km.

2010-06-30 Route - 18.5 km around the West Branch FP.

3 days - 3 spins on the trainer

Sunday - 47 km in the heat

First really hot day of the year and I think I can go for a 2 hour ride. I have no sense of my limitations until they hit me on the head. I seriously bonked at 24 km after 52 minutes. But I was making great time.

I also learned that my bike computer's thermometer only goes to 99°F. I am switching to °C so I don't have to worry about that unless I ride on Venus.

mostly sunny and 91 to 99°F+, winds 10-15 mph S to SW
