I recently got about 2 hours a day of training, mostly riding, but also strength training and PT for my back and hips. My body seems to be handling it well and I feel fine.
Some memorable rides included last Tuesday when I rode with my group to the end of the Redwood retreat road and back, posted here on Strava. Then on Sunday, I did a hard workout consisting of upper body strength training and calisthenics, followed by a brisk ride on the Coyote Creek Trail to Bernal Road, switching onto the Monterey Highway on the way back. I also threw in some hard intervals. It was great at the time, but I was pretty tired afterwards so I took it easy yesterday.
I’ll be visiting my brother in a few weeks in Phoenix and want to rent a bike while I’m down there to ride some of the canal trails. This will be upright. Since I normally ride recumbent, and haven’t done as much mileage lately on my upright, my backside isn’t as strong as it should be, so I’ll be putting more mileage on the upright in preparation, as I did last Tuesday, Friday and yesterday.
