Jet will finish the first 50 in about 3 hours is my guess

Happy biking Jet

Wind favors route to North so it will be Home-Lake O- Ionia State Rec Area- (Join River Valley trail/CIS trail) Saranac-Lowell-Belding and return.

Looks like a ride today after all. Small chance of rain but I’ll risk it.

WAkey wakey

Should be about 100 round trip from home.

Thinking with wind the route will be through Sunfield to Muir then on the CIS trail to ST Johns and return.

Hopefully century ride, (or worky if a good enough trip comes down the pipe) and then #3’s soccer game at GRCC in Knapps corner.

century ride tomorrow, nice. mowed lawn and watched nephew’s baseball game, enough of a workout

low intensity bikey complete

Thinking of going for a low intensity ride right now. Doing the century tomorrow.

I killed the chat

But it was raining north of i 96 which is where most of the ride would have been

Never did rain here. Kinda wish I had went.

It seems like in MI in the Spring if you bike long distances you need to be prepared for all four seasons in a single ride

Smart man

Not usually one to head out into known rain.

Not thinking so now. Radar shows rain and TStorms currently along route. But not quite yet raining here.

Jet was going to ride to Belding and return.

Have a nice ride Jet

Planning a century ride tomorrow if I can’t get some overtime at worky.

I hope to get out yet today. Need to drop off car in lake o for repair. Probably ride home. And take the long way.

Good ride *AARR

It was a character building home stretch

55 miles, 3:50, 2785cal, 14.3mphavg

AARR didn't do the tried and trued best method: ride against wind to start, have wind push you home.

Live from Richmond. No trens. 35 miles done and 20-21 to go. It’ll be a headwind all the way back. Hopefully rain holds off, it’s just been misting so far.

It takes a while but one of the major portions of the service in Woodland is the reading the roll call of the names of all of the deceased veterans from Woodland township. I think it is a great tribute.

Attended memorial day service in Woodland this morning. My daughter was hired to be the bugler playing taps at the Sunfield and Clarksville Cemetery today for their services. Some of the other band kids were doing the service at Woodland and Lake Odessa.

Lunchy lunchy

LOL

I think between AARR’s steroid use and his iffy stats, we are going to need to put an Asterixis by his name *AARR

good luck editting the old posts AARR, only the past 300 chat messages are kept in the database

So I may have to go through the old Chat Board posts and revise my posts

That is what I thought too. But I really thought based on what I know about The MOT for example that my odometer was really accurate so I am surprised to see how off it is (even if it’s less that 5 percent)

righto on the slower speeds on gravel. heck, my mtn bike tires I notice are faster on smooth pavement than more rough pavement.

no worries about mrs. jetlink. She seemed busy the couple times I saw her.

At least that is what I hear in hiking, trail maintenance, and cycling circles. I haven't actually read a peer reviewed scholarly article stating such but I think it is generally accepted. I do know that the GPS equipment in my garmin and on my phone perfectly match the instruments we have onboard the airplane. In unofficial testing.

That is common. Odometers usually under or overmeasure. An accurate GPS is now considered the standard.

The APP and my odometer are not synchronized. My odometer is a few percent lower than the APP. So if the APP is accurate I’m actually going a little further than my odometer shows.

Mrs AARR has the same APP that you guys have that tracks and isolates the various segments of a bike ride. It is interesting to see.

about 5 of the 20 miles were on gravel. Easier to ride the gravel miles than more circutious routing to stay on pavement. No matter what 2.5 miles would have to have been on gravel minimum.

Was really hoping for a 20 mph avg. Had over 19 going but the miles on dirt just killed me. Seems to be about 2.5 mph slower on gravel roads despite the gravel friendly tires.
