Meeting something other than the road

No riding tonight. I had a work dinner that went until about 8 PM. By the time I got home it was time to spend a few minutes with the kids before putting them to bed. Then it was downstairs to do some spinning on the old trainer.

It was kind of fun. I put it in a medium gearing and just started spinning about between 115 and 125 rpm. I did that for about 15 minutes. Then I moved to the big ring and kept the revolutions over 80 rpms for 5 minutes. I then went down and spun for 5 minutes at just over 100 rpm. Then I did an all out sprint in the big ring. I could only do it for about a minute. Finally, I cooled down after 35 minutes or so of spinning.

I sure would rather have been with the Sunshine guys on their Thursday night ride or with Kirk and Brian as they did training laps in Cleveland Park. But no, I was reviewing an employee policy manual.

It has also been fun keeping up with the Tour of Missouri and writing about it in my Greenville News cycling blog. I'm not sure if anyone is reading it, but it is fun to be one of the only voices for cycling in the local media. Maybe someday cyclist in the area will find it and read.
