The Natirar 18 "Move-Your-Butt"

Most of our rides are constrained by time, whether it be a lunch break, taking the kids to soccer, etc. and today was no different. We had an hour, so the three of us reversed our Raritan ride (hense the name Natirar). We increased our pace and according to our calculations, we're hitting a steady 17. Welcome to the B class.

We passed the NHRA open at Atco raceway (shown above) and caught just meer glipses of sunshine along our ride.

NetFlix to the Rescue!

Sorry to say that this weather is really hindering our riding schedule. I'm going to have to get on the trainer and ride for an hour or so before my legs forget how to ride! It's a nice thing to have a big screen TV with NetFlix rolling so you can lose yourself in movie while training hard. There's a huge selection of "instantly watch" movies and shows on demand. Maybe I'll find something on cycling!

The Meander 13

Another beautiful scenic ride through parts of Louden and Atco. We "meandered" our way through zig-sags of quiet streets. We only clocked 13 and decided to make it a pleasant lunchtime ride. Next time i'd like to hit some back streets of Shamong since we are so close. Mental note.

Evesham 32

Did 32. Evesham / Medford Lakes. Very much the same course as last time, but I did 12 miles before Jeff got here :)

The Woodstreamers Evesham 23

We had wonderful weather for our ride today. There was little wind and abundant sunshine. We began on the "road to nowhere" and continued into Evesham. We paced slow for our first ten miles, but increased after we dropped the girls. Jeff, James "Waldo" and I did another 12 through parts of Evesham, hitting Kings Grant area and tips of Medford Lakes. Coming back from the ride, I realized that we probably need to start doing 30+ miles - 23 is nice, but we certainly had more in us.

Lousy Rain!

Thankfully, I was busy at work today. I wanted to ride, but it was really lousy out there today. Not even a break in the ugliness! But on the plus side, looks like the weather is going to be awesome tomorrow! Maybe I deserve a half day and will take a nice long ride.

Stay tuned!

Energy Burst: RariMapleCooper 13

I really don't know where it came from, but there were bursts of energy that came out during my ride today. In all fairness, I can say i had a fantastic night sleep with the help of a little Tylenol PM. But that's all i can attribute it to.

We varied from the norm today, taking Maple instead of Raritan, down to Cooper Folley, then on to Tansboro Road and double backing into Hayes Mill. Christy's pace is dramatically improving and the road fear is diminishing. She's keeping a nicer pace now.

Our new rider James was spotted AFTER our trip on Woodvale.
