Rain, over rain, and rain...

Yesterday morning we had a nice break, so I walked with my friend.  She told me how high the creek water came up a day before in the late afternoon when she saw it.  And next morning we saw lowered water together.

But an hour later when I and Mr. WhP  rode bikes and stopped to see the creek water, it had increased quite a bit. 

Then, it started raining through the night.  And next day today, it has been raining all day without break.

We did stretch and other TV exercise, but our body, especially legs, knees, and feet are still sore from yesterday's walking and biking.
But we were happy that we could ride a little bit yesterday.
And so far our neighborhood is OK from water damage.

I pray for the windy rain passing through without causing too much damage and drew and colored a new year Animal, Rooster.

 
 

Hope continuation brings power.

We decided and did ride every day for short time Sunset Bike last week except Friday.  Because we had a time, we rode last Friday afternoon almost for an hour.  But we got really tired, and we needed to recover for days.

Today we did sunset Bike again for a short time.  And enjoyed the view also and took some photos.

Mr. Wh.P and gorgeous sky.

It seems this is the right pace for us.

Hope our town will become better soon.

Health on two wheels 
  This author told what I felt exactly.  Nice to know that I was not an extremely timid person who doesn't like to share the road with dangerous car drivers. 

Physically separate bike lanes
 It really make sense.

And bicyclists need to know how to ride properly.
Yes, I will continue practicing day by day.  Especially be patient for pedestrians and be flexible towards cars.


Today we just rode short.  When we got back home, it was raining for a while.  But it stopped soon.
Now we had quite a rain tonight.  Hope it will rain more during the night.

Almost forgot riding!

It was busy day.  And we almost forgot riding today, but when I remembered, it was still bright outside.  So we started late afternoon riding--twilight riding, Then we noticed the moon in the twilight blue sky.

An Interesting video

Had a short ride in the morning. Felt like we are getting weaker and weaker recently for some reason, but we don't give up.

Found another interesting video.  Ride of my life

Baked oatmeal and raisin cookies to energy up!  

 

Fatigue is everywhere on our back

It was not severe, but every time when we sit on the chairs, our backs were silently tired.  I was afraid  that our bodies might get stiff if we don't move.

So we just rode for a half hour this morning.  This was very easy ride and not much slope included.  Accidentally I rode with fast pedaling a little, then my left thigh started stringy pain, so I immediately loosened.
Just before reached our house, both my forearms got numb-ish pain.  And now I felt pain in both heels when I walk.  It shows my body's fatigue.  OK.  I wonder if this short ride was the right thing to do or not??  I can't feel my back fatigue, but pains on my arms and heels.  I guess I'd better quit this training like go-on ride soon.  Because the result haven't shown any progress even shown regression a little bit I guess.  
Well, what's next?  How can I put good cycling in my life?

Time, distance, average Spd, and Max Spd.

My right heel is hot and hurts!

Figures! agrrrr...
Resting most of the time today, but late afternoon I got the urge.  So we left for short ride, and we came back home just before it got really dark.  The pain somehow got better afterwards.

Distance, Average Speed, Max Speed, and Time

Using left hand gear 2 only, right hand gear 3 or 2 the most of time, 5-7 for down hill.  Tried to pedal as much as I could, almost no coasting on down hill.
