Heavy Duty Rain Suit spokeasy amazon shop store Rain Gear page Tough Ride blog It was a tough ride this morning; the wind felt quite strong. I’m glad it wasn’t raining as well. Having the wind was quite enough!

The wind was from the South; and if Johann Strauss II were around, he’d be composing Winds from the South; not Roses from the South.

It was blowing at 15 mph by the time I got back home; and by early afternoon, the wind had increased to 17 mph! I was glad that I had finished riding by then. If I thought I had a tough ride this morning, it would be a lot tougher now!

Hamstrings 🦵🏼

ROCKBROS Cycling Leg Warmers spokeasy amazon shop store Leg & Foot page leg and foot page Tough Ride blog

My hamstrings started feeling the effort today; luckily not until I had only a few more miles to go. Leg warmers had nothing to do with it; in fact, I got almost too warm, especially with the jacket. But I apparently need to do more hamstring stretches! 

The wind meant, of course, that I had to work harder; and this morning I was determined to put in the 20 miles that I had planned. I’m glad I had meant to ride at a moderate, steady pace; because I couldn’t have ridden fast! 

It looks like the wind will be calmer tomorrow; and I’ll be glad of it. My hamstrings need the break.

ABOUT ME

I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.

I live in New Orleans; and  retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
