Drunk Bastard Beanz Tour. Solo from Pico to Seal Beach and back. 16.0 aversge speed. Tried to go easy but the wind rarely allows that. 🤣 I was thinking a 120 bpm ride but I see a 167 in there.🤣 Average heart ❤️ rate 144 bpm.
One thing I don't understand and never will, is why dudes want to be competitive and act like you're racing then once you pass them FROM A MILE BEHIND, they want to suck your wheel. Happened again today, some dope I saw a mile ahead was riding and I was gaining. I ride trying to maintain an average speed or heart rate, 140 is a decent effort for me so I try to keep it there and usually will meet my goals.
So I'm holding 140 and catching this guy. I did hit a bit higher then backed off not wanting to go too hard as I was approaching the half way point of my ride. But it was getting freaking windy so I had to keep a good effort to meet my average speed goal. My goal, my plan, my effort, my satisfaction.
I roll up on this guy on a short little incline when he is fading from the incline and the wind, both at the same time can be killer ha ha ha! Forgot to mention, he saw me coming when I was about 30 yards back looking at me like he didn't want to be caught. OK! So when I rolled by him, he was immediately like 15 yards behind. I kept on my way but 1/8 of a mile later, I notice he's on my wheel. I don't ride to tow anybody's ass around, I ride for my health and fitness. My thoughts are that I will get strong and maintain by doing my thing, do your own!
So this dude hops on so I move to the side and wave him by like Vanna White would present a prize on The Price is Right. Probably didn't spell her name correctly or probably didn't get the right game show either ha ha ha! Never watched those silly shows and not even sure how I know how I know of Vanna. But you get the picture of the arm wave. So he goes by and lifts the pace and I can see his head turning part of the way trying to see where I'm at, probably thinking I faded ha ha ha!
But no, I did not fade. I'm just letting him hang out front till he fades then I'll pass him again but put some pressure on so he can't keep up knowing he'll take my wheel again. I actually recorded it on my go pro but didn't have enough footage to make a video. I even aimed it backward after dropping him with a few words to describe the sit-chee-ation ha ha ha! I find it so funny, those guys buying speed with the expensive bikes nowadays. Tubless, lighter wheels, fancy material and still on my CAD3 1997, I can leave 'em behind in the wind ha ha ha!
Of course, after the ride I am a diner. 😁 With my Honey, Sizzluh 6 oz steak and rice. Then a smoothie 😋 I earned it. I probably should not have had the smoothie because of the sugar content but hey, better than an ice cream.
