My funny story

[Pam]

First time out when I got my bike I walked it down the driveway, it's long and gravel, I didn't want to fall. I rode down the rode with Tanner, no turns at all, for a couple miles. We stopped at the lake, rested my butt and headed back. As we are riding I'm telling him how I used to have problems turning. Don't ask me why, I just do.

We go to turn into the driveway, Tanner had talked me into riding up the driveway rather than walking it up, I start to turn and start heading up the bank aiming right for the alarm sign. Tanner yells to me, turn mom just turn. I couldn't. It was like my hands were frozen. So in order to avoid the sign I had to make myself fall.

I am happy to report that I can now turn, without falling. This may be something that was funnier to watch than read.

I used to run up a tree when I first learned to ride a bike, same tree, all the time, it was off to the side, middle of the block, I'd see and steer right for it. It's like it had some kind of magnetic hold on me.

bike 15 miles.

was doing 17.1 mph average when i had to stop for the turtle in the road, and then had to show it to the car full of kids whose mother had turned around to stop for the turtle in the road, and then had to put the thing over the rock wall.

finished at 16.9 mph average.

breathing pattern as a function of perceived exertion.

at three and three, i'm cruising.
at two and two, i'm working hard.
at one and two anaerobic threshold.
at one and one VO2max.

the great thing about a bike is that one can go up and down the zones a number of times in a ride without even thinking about it. it just seems to happen.

like running hills, i guess.
