falafel, a bowl of beans,rice and chicken is a common meal, also crab cake with sliced tomato from the garden. Fresh fish or shrimp. All our seafood is right off the boat this time of year. For a snack my wife has fresh fruit cut up. This time of year it's really easy to eat fresh and healthy on the coast. I have one main meal in late afternoon and a protein shake after my morning ride,fresh fruit around seven pm and I'm good.

That was crazy, dudes pushing each other. I can't believe there are not more crashes. What was all the yelling about?Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Very cool video.
Busy morning and an early start on the road for work so I rode tonight. 30 miles for a nice hard ride. Will skip the run tonight. 100 for the week with two more days of riding to go. Might hit 160 for the week. Will be back on the bike in 12 hours.

Did my regular twenty miler today that started in a drizzle and ended in pouring rain. It was sort of a first in I had my first fall. Going down the only hill on my route at a decent pace when I went to take a right the wheels slipped and I went down. My right wrist and base of my hand hurt but nothing else. I laid there till I stopped seeing stars then carried on. The worst thing about it is yesterday my wife told me I take corners too fast and I laughed it off.

20 miler. My LBS fixed my derailer from my crash. Hope it's back to normal tomorrow. Hate shifting gears and having it skip.
Rain today. So I was going to skip and I'm driving to the gym for a run. I started getting this really bad feeling because I've biked everyday during these last 9 weeks except Sundays which is my day off. I thought about my dedication as a runner when I regularly qualified for Boston before my injury. I used to run in any weather I thought. I knew what I had to do, I turned the car around, came home got my bike and did my 20. It was a really strong ride in lots of water but that's ok. I got my ride in. Starting my tenth week of riding I've got the fever. Not as fast as I hope to be but I love going as hard as I can during my ride especially the last four where I push really hard. Ha ! Rain all you want but I'm riding !!Last edited by OceanBlue; 08-04-2014, 01:21 PM.

I've got a bad Achilles and I went from marathoner to a 210 pound couch potato. Every time I ran I'd drop a few pounds and then my Achilles or some leg injury would occur. We played touch rugby once a week and I was the old guy with a bowling ball gut. I was lifting and trying to run when a buddy from my ward convinced me to bike with him one day. My legs felt so much better right away as they were were always in pain but biking does something where they feel great after riding. My gentle suggestion, bike !! Don't worry about how far or how fast. Make yourself bike daily for like 45 minutes to start. It will help your conditioning. Start there and track when you do it. Post on here or somewhere. Best of luck !!
