The Zwift Game
ZWIFT. Go Zwift. First test ride in a virtual world wide grid of real cyclist tied together on a the real Jarvis Island, but virtually computer generated. Game on! More to come, but not blogging this any more.
1st ride of 2015 -- just for the records
Little recovery after the Festive. Still this minor banged kneed annoyance. 1st ride 2015.

Last day of 2014
So done for 2014? -- no, not quite yet -- this needed to be done to finished up the #Festive500.
But please also see previous posts for key rides of the past festive days.
* Rapha Festive 500 wrap up *
Now that was a little tricky to get done under some boundary conditions as a late start on December 25th, noon for the first counting kilometers due a total wash out until the sky in a hurry cleared up on 25th by about 11am after a few days of pouring rain with high winds.
Dec 25th: 132.7km solo ride.
Dec 26th: 139.3km solo+Kreb Shop ride+solo-stop at work-solo ride home.
Dec 27/28th: CX race weekend at Sunken Meadow 19.7+24.7km (incl. warmup).
Dec. 29th: -/- due to work obligations not even the planned on lunch ride happened :(
Dec. 30th: morning commute with extra loop 34.4km + commute into night with lights 46.2km + Zwift Island test lap after fixing up power tap 8.1km
Dec. 31st: fishing it up 102.8km.
About 100km to go. So let's roll.
A brisk sunny but fairly chilly day -- but hey, with the right jacket, and extra booties just fine for a great solo ride. Not in any hurry, just finish it up and on the last miles rolling back into town get some local shopping done for a great dinner!
Total: 508km
But please also see previous posts for key rides of the past festive days.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!

CXing at Sunken Meadow Saturday + Sunday
One more Long Island CX weekend, this time a new venue at Sunken Meadow.
#Festive500 -- not the most ideal way to get in miles... but had to participate this local fun organized by out club. So finishing the season with 10 CX races done.
Saturday, a beautiful December day, Sunday -- looking like a rainy day, but lucked out with some rain before the races, then just fine CX conditions.

Krebs Boxing Day Ride or was it a race?
So Py got this announced as a social ride...but weeeeeell -- won't call extended repeats at 30+mph social. Anyway, beyond too much stopping some failed meeting.... a great day out there.
However, the post (Kreb ride) get together at the Bellport cafe was nice, thanks for the coffee :)
And a Happy New year -- or see you tomorrow for the Li CX weekend #2!

Merry Christmas -- what a present by mother nature!
A little little new here, but don't worry -- still riding on, just a little shifted priorities :-)
After almost a week of dull, foggy, wet and heavy rain... all sudden in a snap with the help of good sustained winds the Island seaming "dived out of the mess" within an hour and the sun popped up on a blue sky and on top of it still temperatures unusual high topping out at 10 degrees C! Almost not even thinking about a ride in the morning a quick decision and rolling out just before noon with still partially wet roads, but just fine. About 4 hours to go until sun down -- so estimating to get about 120km in heading out East on proven roads extending a little East.... What a fun flight out Easy with some NW tail wind! At about 45min into the ride already at Iron Pear Beach... Woa! Continuing planning on returning via Cutchogue after a little furthe out East loop -- turning around about about 1h45. Well -- the return will take a little longer.
