Staten Island East Shore and Historic Richmondtown - a relatively short, flat ride with a wicked headwind and heavy cross gusts outbound. The return was a tail wind but colder.

I want to learn arial yoga but hanging upside down made me nauseous. I’ve been working on improving my vestibular sense and this morning I did it! And got up nausea free 👌🤗

I’m up to 20 Nordic curls with a 45lb assist. Think I’m ready to reduce the assist weight. (Someone left 115lb on it - really? 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Yesterday we joined a friend, who had a rough year, to celebrate his 75th birthday with his annual bike ride. 🎁👏🚴🏻‍♀️🤗
A contingent of the Queens Santa ride joined as well 😁🧑‍🎄

It’s not winter yet but we’re having a cold snap. After a ride I joined was cancelled, I got out for a short ride to scout a pizza stop for a new ride and check if my winter hiking pants work for my weekday commute. 🤗🍕👖

I increased the load on my single leg leg presses by 10% today to 240lb 👌 Not has hard as I thought it would be. I might go back up to 10 reps.

Got a new fitness toy - a Slackboard 🤗 Very challenging 😬 Today I practiced stepping on and off both forward and back 👌 It’s the epitome of being brave enough to suck at something new 🤣

Biking through the Bronx, stopping at a hidden garden, an abandoned castle, and the Anderson center, originally a residence for destitute billionaires. 😁

Bridges and Bagels on Thanksgiving 🦃 5 east side bridges.
Someone stole my expensive, heated gloves at the halfway pit stop. 😡🤬
Kossar’s had too long a long line 🤷🏻‍♀️so we skipped the bagel stop.

Here’s my newest youtube video: Whether you’re a cyclist, runner, or you simply sat too long at the computer, this feel-good routine opens your chest and shoulders and relaxes the tense muscles in your back.

Slow sightseeing Brooklyn Halloween House ride - A little windy, a little cold, a bit of a headwind, no hills to speak of, and a blue, fall sky, 👻🎃

Steel mace 360s that not everyone can do. Start where you are even if you’re not Paul Bunyan. 🏋🏻‍♀️🤗 7lb, 10 reps each direction. Focus on form, which is more important than weight.

I’m up to 3 sets of 5 reps on the new Nordic curl machine in my gym. Evidently it’s working at improving my hamstring fitness because my PT was impressed with both strength and mobility in them yesterday 🏋🏻‍♀️🤗

I was just going to do these rotations but since I already had the weights attached, I kept going for a complete leg lift set 20 reps.

Steel mace this morning - more effective and fun than rows and biceps curls 😉

Transportation Alternatives reclaimed the NY Century. I couldn't quite manage 75miles but I did the full length of the Queens Blvd bike lane (about 10 miles) and ended up with a total of almost 62 miles.
