Day 20 - Everyday In May Challenge

Day 20 was a nice morning. I made sure to get up extra early so I can get to the ocean nice and early and see the sun over the horizon. I found my new favorite spot to get a great view of the sunrise. On the way back I saw a neighbor with a couple of parrots on her shoulder so I stopped. They are a Brazilian Parrot. Beautiful. She put one of them on my shoulder. The Parrot was very friendly and I was able to pet it without any issues. While the winds continue to be fairly strong, it was a great workout even though my legs were a bit tired! Result: 20.25 miles.

Day 19 - Everyday In May Challenge

Day 19 was a nice morning, but the winds are still pretty strong! I rode down to A1A to enjoy the Ocean view. Going south I had the winds with me so I was able to ride at a brisk pace. Going back was a bit tough riding into the winds. Overall, a great workout! Result: 20.20 miles.

Day 18 - Everyday In May Challenge

Day 18 was a windy one! I thought yesterday was suppose to be the windy day. Well I pushed on through regardless. I decided to venture over to A1A and ride along the coast which is my favorite place to ride. On the way there, I stopped by the FAU Owls and their stadium. Nice stadium! On the way back, I stopped in the Spanish River Park in Boca Raton and found this great tunnel that leads to the beach. It was beautiful when I got through. I enjoyed sitting there for a few minutes looking out into the ocean. On the way back, I found additional roads to ride along as I was enjoying being out and about regardless of the winds. Overall, a great workout! Result: 25.44 miles.

Day 17 - Every Day In May Challenge

Day 17 was a beautiful morning for a ride. It was in the 60's and very low humidity if at all. The ride started out great, barely a breeze. I got to wear the Cat-Ears for the first time which helped minimize wind noise in my ear. I also got to wear my new Da Brim Rezzo visor. The skulls at least adds character to the visor. The wind did pic up quite a bit and the last 8 miles were pretty tough. On the way back, I did get a couple of ladies who recorded me riding on the ElliptiGO. I gave them my email address to email me the video. Pretty cool to see it. All in all, a good ride. Result: 30.12 miles.

Day 16 - Everyday In May Challenge - Happy Bike To Work Day

Day 16 was another humid ride (94%)! Good sweaty workout. There was quite a bit of cloud cover along with a breeze, so it keep the ride a bit more manageable. More than half way done for the month! Overall all good workout!  Result: 16.22 miles.

Day 15 - Everyday In May Challenge

Day 15 was a very humid ride! We had very heavy rains over night and we are suppose to have rain on and off today. Luckily it did not rain during my ride until I got to mile 11. I was hoping to get 15 miles in, but the rain came down pretty hard. I was pretty close to home, so I was able to get in before I got soaked. Result: 11.21 miles.

Day 14 - Everyday In May Challenge

Day 14 almost did not happen and I was doing work on my Elliptigo, changing out my load wheels and ran into problems removing them. Luckily I was able to after several hours. The morning started out looking like it was going to be a nice morning and then saw the radar. Sure enough it rained for a little bit and then cleared up for a little while so I took advantage and got my ride in. Phew! Result: 15.08 miles.

Day 13 - Everyday In May Challenge

Day 12 was a muggy wet one! I woke up to rain and figured that I would ride this evening, but looking at the radar, it was clearing up, so I went out. It was a bit windy, but push on through. It is amazing how sandy the road gets and sticks to the Elliptigo when wet. Good workout non the less. Result: 14.46 miles.

Day 11 - Everyday In May Challenge

I decided to sleep a little later this morning (7 AM)-LOL. I was not sure where I wanted to ride, so I decided to ride over to A1A along the ocean. It was a bit breezy. Stopped along the way and of course people were asking me about the EllitiGO. I then looked at the Ocean and cracked up. There was a couple there looking out to the Ocean and a tractor blocked their view. Was very funny. They had the entire beach to sit at and this is what they had to look at. The tractor did finally move. All in all, it was a nice ride and good workout! Result: 22.79 miles. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Day 10 - Everyday In May Challenge

Day 10 ride took me on a different route to mix it up to a park in West Boca. Riding over there was nice, no wind issues. Rode around the park and enjoyed the view and passed groups of cyclists along the way. The way back was a bit tougher as I rode into the winds, but a bit windy. All in all ist was a nice ride and good workout! Result: 24.61 miles.

Day 8 - Every Day In May Challenge

Day 8 ride was a nice one. The sunrise was fantastic. The winds were not to bad thank goodness. My back was bothering me a bit during hte ride, so I stopped a couple of times, so I stopped to stretch which helped. Coming back I rode through a school zone and I had to slow down :). Love speed. Result: 31.28 miles.

Day 7 - Everyday In May Challenge

Day 7 started with my annual physical, so I got off to a late start. Interesting enough the Dr. said that my heart rate was lower than normal. I told her that I have been riding my ElliptiGO quite a bit. She said that was probably the reason why. It was a fairly windy ride, but a great workout non the less. The conditions were very comfortable. Result: 12.18 miles.

Day 3 - Everyday In May Challenge

Day 3 was a good hard ride. The humidity was very high to say the least! The winds were not too bad, but did he pockets of decent winds. I was hoping to see the sunrise, but it was to cloudy. The ride was an emotional one as well as it was 7 years ago today that I put my dog Sparky down. The first picture I took with him was January 1991 and the later picture was the day I put him down. He was an amazing dog. Result: 40.15 miles completed.
