Peachland to Penticton

Photobucket

Endomondo Cycling Workout: "was out cycling 41.89 km in 1h:38m:39s using Endomondo."

Solo Ride. This ride started out cool(12c) but as i got riding, i slowly warmed up. Winter Jacket, SS Jersey, bib knicks, summer socks, short fingered gloves.
Overall had a great ride, with the legs feeling pretty good two days after my first run (5km) in two months. This ride is pretty much all highway except for a few kilometers with traffic not being too busy and no close encounters. This route encounters one hill that is 8% grade for a short distance and then continues up hill for a few more kilometers. Also included on this route are some awesome descents (Max Speed 62 kph), rolling hills and a long flat stretch perfect for Tempo work.

5.0km Run

Endomondo Running Workout: "was out running 5.00 km in 34m:27s using Endomondo."
First Run in 2 months since Pneumonia. Felt good. Afternoon, weather was warm. Shirts and Shorts.
Legs are feeling a little tender but that is a given since they haven't done such a workout in a while. The route was my regular out and back route and remembering back to my last run prior to my illness, this run was a lot easier as my lungs have recovered quite well. I will see how my legs feel tomorrow, if they can take another run.

Peachland Return Via Dryden

Endomondo Cycling Workout: "was out cycling 24.10 km in 1h:16m:24s using Endomondo."

Todays ride was down to Peachland in the nice weather that we are having. It wasn't too hot (20c,Sunny,Cloudy Periods), it was cool at first until i got the blood pumping. The route was down to Beach Ave and then back up the hill to home via Dryden Walk Loop. Nothing too serious about this ride, just racking up the miles with a few distractions (a mate who couldn't figure out how to put a bike rack on his car, people trying to find Vancouver, Peachland Music Festival). This route includes at least 15 minutes of Climbing from the lake to Home. I did take 10 minutes rest at about the half way mark when i got down to downtown Peachland as i happened upon the Peachland Heritage Music Festival.

Endomondo Cycling Workout

Endomondo Cycling Workout: "was out cycling 9.11 km in 24m:17s using Endomondo."
Quick and Simple was the motto for the bike ride tonight. The legs feel sharp with moderate power climbing the short sharp hills. The route was from the house out to Coldham National Park turn around back to the house using the Dryden/Trepenair walk loop i also do. Hoping to get out for a decent ride tomorrow with some longer time in the saddle. As i have a few days off, i'm hoping to to do a few good training days.

Endomondo Cycling Workout

Endomondo Cycling Workout: "was out cycling 29.91 km in 1h:29m:28s using Endomondo."
Nice Ride today, took the Avanti for a ride towards Summerland, turning around at the start of the dual highway. The temperature was warm in the low twenties so no complaints about being cold. It did feel quite hot when climbing the hill up Trepenair hill. The legs are feeling good for having not exercised much in the last 5 weeks due to a chest infection and traveling home to Australia.

Endomondo Walking Workout

Endomondo Walking Workout: "was out walking 4.87 km in 42m:46s using Endomondo."

This hike/bike today was tough. Not realising how steep the mountain is, i took the bike down. I would guess that it is upwards of 15% grade in someplaces and pushing a 30lb bike up it just makes it tougher. Overall, i was quite happy with the effort as my lungs held up pretty well considering my fitness regime lately. This hike starts at Trepenair Manor and down the mountainside leading towards the Peachland School or pass the Trepenair Creek Mobile Home Park.
