Our First Heavy Rain of the Season Then Back To Sun – BionicOldGuy
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
Last Sunday and Monday we had our first good rain of the season, over 2″ total. Tuesday there were some residual showers but I was able to sneak an easy 30 minute ride in. Later in the day I did a short ride on my upright. I also did a hard upper body workout that day which felt good. I do a lot of PT for the back and hip area as part of those workouts, I want to strengthen all the stabilizing muscles so I’m less likely to have a flare-up of sciatica.
Yesterday was sunny and clear and I went for a 70 minute cruise on my recumbent, then 50 minutes on the upright. I threw in 8 intervals of brisk riding while standing. This is a good way to get the heart rate up without working the glute muscles too hard, as they are still a bit sore from my recent adventures.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
