Today’s Pop Ride with Alley Love was hard for me. My output was close to but below the trend line.  As a manager once said, “Some days are diamonds, some days stones.”  Reminds me of a GW Bush bumper sticker, “Like A Rock, but dumber”.  I had fun chasing GingersnapLJ who started this on demand ride about 2 minutes ahead of me.  We matched pace pretty much, though I gained on her slowly then we passed each other a few times being at slightly different points in the ride with varying intensity.  She passed me and finished her ride ahead.  With two minutes to go, I finished ahead by maybe 17 kj.  I put in a request to follow. Her profile is private.  Perhaps she’s open to followers, we’ll see.

I’m an equal opportunity follower.  I have both guys and gals of all ages in my queue.  I’ve been followed by a number of people who I’ve met (passed) on rides.  It’s a community.  Some women take exception to being “followed”,  which I fully understand though no personal data is available on a profile.  Hence my request to follow Ginger.

This ride’s cadence was remarkable.  There were long stretches at over 100 cadence with long pushes above 115 to 120.  It’s a challenge to sustain with moderate resistance; fun in a masochistic way (?!?) Today’s output was 380 kj, today’s trend line is at 385kj.  Oh well.   Another 14 virtual miles toward Tierra Del Fuego!
