Increasing my training – BionicOldGui

Recently I’ve been training about 2 hours a day, mostly riding, but also strength training and PT for my back and hips. My body seems to handle it well and it feels good.

Some memorable rides included last Tuesday when I rode with my group to the end of Redwood Road for the retreat and back, posted here on Strava. Then on Sunday I did a hard workout consisting of upper body strength training and PT, followed by a quick ride on the Coyote Creek Trail to Bernal Road, switching to 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 easier yesterday.

I’m visiting my brother in a few weeks in Phoenix, and I want to rent a bike while I’m down to ride some of the canal trails. This will be upright. Since I normally ride recumbent and haven’t done that much upright mileage recently, my rear isn’t as strengthened as it should be, so I’ll be doing more upright mileage in preparation, like I did on last Tuesday’s, Friday’s and yesterday’s rides.
