The B-B-Bike Ride -- 26 July to 5 August

So no running for a while, as I was too busy biking. I'll be putting a post about that whole story in my other blog, but here a few stats:

Start: Hometown MA
Turnaround: Buffalo NY
Endpoint: Delmar NY

Days biking: 11
Miles biked: 1,024
Total hours/mins in motion: 94:05
Average daily miles: 93.01
Average speed while moving: 10.9 mph
Average hours biked daily: 8.5

The trip was done towing a well loaded InStep Quick N EZ Bike Trailer (thanks internets for the pic; I have a few snaps, but not uploaded yet). The two trips I made from the Niagara County Camping Resort, just outside of Lockport, to the Niagara Falls and into Buffalo center I was trailerless, and it was a very pleasant change. On both of those trips, done on consecutive days, I also discovered the amazing tailwind that you pick up heading east. The return trip was definitely easier.

Only one wipeout, and no real harm done beyond bloody scrapes, so a good trip -- but absolutely no time to run, so when I got home I was very out of running shape. See next entry!
