Ride Ride Ride

For todays effort, i rode for approximately an hour on my mountain bike mainly for commuting to my sisters place. I took the mountain bike as i knew it was slower then the road bike and required much more effort. The harder my rides are and the more time i spend on my bike, the fitter i will become.
With the inspiration of a book i am reading "Mat Hoffman - Testimony - The Ride of my Life" and also a Youtube Video, i ended up at the skate park for a little ride around. My first ever time at a skate park. It's a different feeling with a concrete bunker around you. The fear of falling is something i have to get out of my head so i can ride for fun.

Maybe i'll get out again this afternoon. Just because its fun!!!

Getting Fit

A nice day for a ride after a few days of rain. There wasn't really any wind, well not any that i can remember, i was too worried about my legs. The legs are feeling ok, not to sore, its just the aerobic fitness that is suffering a bit. Over the next couple of weeks, i will be working on my base fitness again. Just getting myself use to training again. Today, i didn't take to much note of my heart rate but when i did, it was sitting pretty high at around 160-170. It wasn't really a suffer fest but it did feel tough.
