Bucktown Coastie #6 – Late and Alone

A Pax of one rolled up to the trail at 8:32. Was the Q late?  Yes.  Did his Pax leave without him?  Possibly.  What should he do?  Well, YHC waiting until 8:35, did a very quick count, namorama, prayer to the Sky Q for a safe ride and shoved off.

The Thang

  • 10 minute w/u ride to Okwata
  • 1 min left leg only
  • 1 min right leg only
  • 1 min both legs
  • Find a comfortable gear on the big ring and ride at 90 RPM (rotations per minute)
  • Cross over Bayou St John bridge and switch to the big ring

Adjust your back gear to affect your RPMs

  • 1 min 90 RPM, 1 min 85 RPM
  • 2 min 90 RPM, 2 min 80 RPM
  • 3 min 90 RPM, 3 min 75 RPM
  • 4 min 90 RPM, 4 min 70 RPM (like biking through the tough mudder)

Get back in the small ring for a c/d ride home.

During the ride, YHC was joined by another lone wolf, probably due to my tasty tunes coming from my speaker.   Together we rode from UNO to the end of Lakeshore Dr. & back.   YHC shared the glory that is F3 with him and hopefully a full headlock will happen at the next Coastie.

Thank you for letting me lead….sort of
