Charles River Biking: Heaven on Earth

Raina said:
It's supposed to be rainy tomorrow but I'm sure I'll be biking on Sunday. I'm pondering doing 30 miles since I haven't done that much yet but it's not that much more than I've been doing. ;)

30 is a nice ride, it took me 1 hour 30 minutes to do the 15, not too fast but I bike on a hybrid (wide-tires). It was so beautiful today watching the sail boats too on the charles (remember those days!)
 
pounded out my ussual 30 today. Ugh, it was a nasty hot muggy day today. It "was" supposed to be decent. NOPE, I was rained on for the last 5-8 minutes of my ride argh

Nice distance, do you use a race bike or a mountain/hybrid?

I may have to start doing that. I also adjust my diet and hence don't do any cardio.

GJ,

I always hated doing cardio in the gym (boring) and never really biked since I was young. A couple of years ago I picked up a new basic bike, now I take a ride after dinner even if it is for 20 minutes. I have found it keeps me pretty much in check, with regards to bf%, and I'm just eating clean but not starving.

Plus, put on your head phones and enjoy your tunes while you see some nice scenery!
 
I have a mountain. I use it everywhere though, wether i'm on the road for a longer distance or in the woods. I take it on the road because if I see a deep ditch or anything that looks like fun in the county, i'm going over, under, through, or into it

The main reason I never bought a bike because when I was in high school I used to bike around. One day in what you'd consider a ghetto, there was this store that was on the corner and both the street were one way. I didn't see the signs and turn directly into oncoming traffic. Bout 1 second later I had a head on collision with a car on a bike. I was thrown from right in front of the store and my back hit the a street sign on the other side of the street!!

Somehow I walked away from this, but the wheel and the front axle of this bike was destroyed

I've never biked since

GJ,

That pretty much sucks and would be discouraging. Sounds like this cat used up at least one of his lives! Rest-assured, I think you will find safer places to bike now, I stay off the main roads and find some one of these new bike paths. I still have to keep aware however because other bikes are hazards now. Go for it bro!

I love being up in the mountains where you can just ride all day. IT's getting harder and harder to find people to get out with. Seems like it's easier to hook up with some people you meet on the mountain than find a local who wants to go off the beaten path. Once the local bike shop shut down, the biking community just went to hell. The races went away and no one wants to pay the prices for new bikes. They are expensive as hell.

I never biked on mountains but I am sure I would enjoy it. I'm in the city mainly. My bike cost me about 180 bucks..lol, I don't need much to have fun plus they steal them if they are too nice!

I bought my mtn bike in the late 90's and it's still going strong. I beat the hell out of it for a few years and had no real problems. I paid over a grand for that bike, but it'll probably last forever. The frame is guarenteed for life, so if I can manage to crack the thing I'll get a new one free.
 
Just did 31 miles in an hour and a half. It's funny because I always feel like I could ride endlessly. I have no idea how tired I am until I'm off the bike. ;)

Just did a nice 15 mile bike up and down the river. Beautiful day and shoreline was packed with returning college girls sunning themselves...please don't make the summer end!

I got lost going up and down the road that runs parallel to the river while looking for a Howard Johnson motel that you couldn't see from the road at night.

That means you go twice as fast as me! You probably have one of those fancy racing bikes. Way to go Raina...

Indeed Heaven on Earth, I love riding my bike. Especially in the sunshine and going places. I havent driven a car in like weeks. No reason to and I get places faster on my racing bike with all the traffic here in Portland. We have a light rail train system, best in the world they say and Portland is the best city for biking, you can get on the train with your bike and just zip downtown or across town and watch the traffic stop and go while zipping along at 50mph. Get off and few minutes anywhere in the area.
Save loads on gas and get great cardio and just enjoy the sunshine. It is heaven on earth sometimes.
Like at night going to 24 hour fitness, they have awesome new clubs here and going riding at night in the warm August air is amazing. But I always get that feeling that life is so good and that movie City of Angels with Meg Ryan riding her bike at the end, wtf, that sucked. Hope that doesnt happen to me
