Moshe and I went for a ride at 5:15AM Tuesday morning. Here’s the route:
Here’s the graph:
The hill in the middle is the 14% grade South Mountain. I was happy to be able to climb it without standing up! I enjoyed riding first thing in the morning. The temperature would reach 100 or so later [...] We went up to Mongaup Pond for Memorial day weekend. All the new systems in the RV worked well, except for a propane leak in the connection for the new catalytic heater. Once I tightened it up, it was fine. Trish relaxing in camp:
On Sunday we went kayaking on the pond: Followed [...] This weekend we stayed at the Kenneth Wilson campground in the Catskills. This was our first over-Shabbos trip with the new RV. There was a good bit of poison ivy in the campground, so we had to be a bit careful. On Sunday, we went to Saugerties for the Purina Mills Grand Prix HITS-on-the-Hudson III: [...] 17.6 MPH on the way home last night, an all-time best. My best in 2007 was 17.1 MPH. I hit 17.4 MPH a week or two ago. On the way in, I’ve been at 20+ pretty consistently, and have once tied my all-time best of 20.6 MPH. Gate Hill Rd: 400 ft over 1 mile = 7.58% average grade: South Mountain Rd: 394 ft over 0.79 miles = 9.47% average grade: Funny, Gate Hill Rd seems harder, probably because the steepest part is at the end, while SMR’s is at the beginning. Gabe, Simcha, and I rode out to Gate Hill Road with one of Gabe and Simcha’s sons. I couldn’t get the cyclecomputer to turn on this morning, so I’ve pulled data from rides in 2007.
Here’s the approach to Gate Hill Rd:
We rode up and down Gate Hill Rd three times. Here’s [...] First ride of 2008!
11.28 Miles, 14.3MPH average. Ugh. We went on a Chol Hamoed trip to a corn maze near Warwick. Trish gave me a head start on the bike. The idea was that the family would catch me on the way there, but they got a bit lost, so I ended up getting there a few minutes before they did. Distance (mi): 33.45Time: [...] Gabe and I did a quick ride down to the marina:
Simcha and Gabe and I rode up into Harriman and, on a lark, decided to go on to Newberg for some reason. 83 Miles of fun in the (very hot) sun. Distance (mi): 82.49 Time: 5:13:49 Avg. speed (mph): 15.8Calories: 5,293 Ascending (ft): 4,074 Avg. HR: 142 Fastest speed (mph): 41.9Max. cadence: 107.6Max. grade: 13.4% Max. [...] |
