Minnesota Ironman Ride

Today I rode in the Minnesota Ironman ride in Lakeville MN. 30 miles of wet windy roads. We got rained on most of the ride. This was my longest ride so far this year. I felt pretty good for most of the ride. The last 3 miles were pretty rough. The wind really took its toll. Overall it was a pretty fun experience.

Location: Lakeville

Temp: 50

Distance: 30 miles

Time: 2 hrs 30 min.

Elm Creek ride.

Another great ride at Elm Creek. Starting to feel really good during the entire ride. I just got my bike back from the bike shop. I got a tune up and a new chain. She rides like new again. I am pretty excited about the Ironman ride on Sunday. There is a chance of rain, but what is the Ironman ride without some rain.

Location: Elm Creek
Distance: 15 miles
Temp: 60
Time: 1 hr.

Around the River Again!

I had another great ride around the river. I am starting to feel a bit stronger on the hills, which is a good thing. I am gearing up for the Minnesota Ironman Ride in Lakeville MN next Sunday. It will be 30 miles of nice riding with about 4000-5000 other riders. Can't wait.

Today's Ride:

Location: St. Paul/Minneapolis

Distance: 15 miles

Temp: 65

Time: 1 hour

Sunday Ride

I had a nice ride at Elm Creek yesterday (Sunday). I extended my previous Elm Creek ride by adding on the 10 mile loop on the north side. There are 2 pretty hard hills to climb, but worth it at the end. It is a great place for hill training. I would add a map, but mapmyride.com is not responding right now. Check out the map form my first post for an overview of the great trails at Elm Creek.

Location: Elm Creek

Distance: 20 miles.

Temp: 65

Time: 1hr 30 min.

Another 15 miles in today.

Today was another nice spring day in Minnesota. Went to Baker Park Reserve and rode the nice trails there today. Strong wind made the climbing pretty rough. I got 2 laps in.

Where: Baker Park Reserve

Distance: about 15

Temp: 65

Time: 1hr 20min.
