Good luck with that! Hope you took the snowshoes or skis.

Dang Guy, that is impressive. About how long does a ride like that take??

Oh, we averaged a bit under 15 mph, our ride was a bit over 5 hours.

We're training for a "century" ride, a full 100 miles on a hilly course with a fair bit of climbing. That's on June 1st, and I hope the weather isn't too hot. That clobbers me the most, the heat. I have only ridden a few century rides, usually finish in about 7 hours. I did manage a 6 hour century once, but... That was a few years back in my 40's! I'm not that good on the bike anymore.

LOL, right, you should just go ahead and hang 'em up!

Finally done with school for the summer, so time to get consistent on working out. tried a new route this morning for a hike, did 4.6 miles with 30 pounds. Good amount of hills and felt good to get some miles. Had to get back though and make breakfast for the better half for mother's day.

let's see- headed out Friday evening for the Bob, had to walk 5 miles of the road to get to the trailhead due to snow, hiked another 4 miles by headlamp to the mouth of the drainage we'd be heading up in the morning; got up early and headed up to a ridge we wanted to scout out- was on snowshoes almost the entire day, didn't make it back to the truck until almost 8 pm (11 pm home)- we covered about 22 miles (about 13 on snowshoes) w/ a ton of ascent, taking it easy today

LOL, preparations for your workout are more strenuos than most guys' workouts.

Was thinking the same thing! Hahaha

Shrimping @ 250' w/o a davit this weekend..... aka biceps workout.

Also w/o snowshoes

that's not how we shrimp in Montana

That is a good distance on snow shoes!

Surprised could get around much
The next day

cardio/gym for me today. Got a decent little walk in last evening.

@ribka- yeah I didn't do much yesterday

4 miles and ~1500' of gain, very hot here and felt hotter with all the cool weather we've had

6 hours hand/arm JG, 2 hours rototilling

73 miles & 4,100' of climbing with the bicycle yesterday!

Getting stronger.

Lower body gym day for me. Squats, box jumps, dead lifts, quad and hamstring machines, lunges.

5 rounds of 40 pushups, 40 air squats, 10 pull-ups this morning

5 miles on the trails w/ Tiny Elvis this evening

morning- 6 rounds 25 pushups, 25 air squats, 25 lunges

evening- 5 miles w/ Tiny E- flushed a couple of big blue grouse, startled us both

Last Saturday did a nice hike chasing gobblers with my boys - Dad's the pack mule for youngest. (2) good 45 minute bike rides so far this week too. Did some swimming last night only bad thing is I was trout fishing at the time - water was cold & the air afterward wasn't much better.
