Not a bad day to be on the bike. #teamnuun #stayhydrated #teamvelorunners #raam2016

Legs felt even better today. Went out to Woodard Rd. to ride it hard and ended up 5:47 for 1.2 miles on a 7% grade, then a KOM on Hurt Rd Climb. It helps when the weather cooperates by warmer temps and sunshine.

Legs are feeling a little fresher today. Kept it on the flat out & back on the Dirty 30. A good head wind on the way out, so smooth sailing back into town. Tomorrow it will be back to a little climbing and hopefully my rear wheel will be fixed.

Nothing like getting dragged along today. After a couple of days of fresh legs, everything came a halt today with no zip left in them. It didn't really matter if we were on the flats or on hills, I was just tired. The good thing is I had a good solid week of training, so hopefully tomorrow I will be back to normal.

Today's ride had a little bit of everything from gravel & mud to rain & hills. It was a great loop out into the forest. I was lucky enough to just get rained on and got home before the wind picked up. Been a good few days riding from Manzanita.

Awesome day out on the coast. Hard to get a day over here where the wind isn't blowing, but today it was pretty calm for the most part. Today included a good 7 mile climb up to Saddle Mnt. It is a narrow, steep climb almost all the way. Then a quick stop over in Seaside to get some coffee and back climbing over the hill to Manzanita.

Getting to spend a few days over on the coast. Trying to make the most out of a little down time from work and get some quality miles in. Today was a loop to Garibaldi down 101 and coming back on Miami Foley Rd which is a nice little two lane road without much traffic. Hopefully tomorrow will be a good long day in the saddle.

Another soggy day on the bike. #teamnuun #stayhydrated #teamvelorunners #raam2016

Yep, another wet day in Portland, go figure. The good thing is that the winds have gone done. I actually took Monday off and rested. The first day this year that I didn't ride or run. My body was telling me I needed a break and I actually listened. Looking forward to this weekend to getting some good rides in over at the coast. I have found a couple roads that  look fun and the weather looks like it is going to cooperate.

96 days left until RAAM! #teamnuun #stayhydrated #teamvelorunners #raam2016

So we only have 96 days left until we begin our little journey across the country. The last month of training hasn't been everything that I have hope for in some ways. My mileage has dropped on the bike because of work and travel. The good news is I still have been getting something in every day. The last 11 weeks I have rode or ran everyday and since July 14th I have only taken off 6 days. I know my fitness is good, just need to keep at it. Luckily with the days getting longer and staying light later in the evening, I will be able to get some solid rides in after work.

A nice late afternoon loop out on Sauvie Island. I am starting to get in a routine with work and enjoy being able to get a few miles in the afternoon. Hopefully I will be able to keep the rides up even on days that I have to be traveling.

Good day of climbing. #teamnuun #stayhydrated #teamvelorunners #raam2016

Nice to be back on the bike and to get some climbing in. Today was filled with climbs around the Mt. Scott area then headed to Boring to do Wally Rd. climb (KOM today) and Walters Rd. climb on the way back on Springwater Trail.
