A Cycling We Will Go

Abby and I have committed ourselves to riding the bike of the evenings during the week. We have been putting in around 4.5 miles on the weeknights.

On Friday, we rode the Murfreesboro Greenway and through Stones River Battlefield for about 12.5 miles.

Saturday morning we both got up bright and early for a ride with the Murfreesboro Bicycle Club. Nice bunch of folks. We got in around 17.5 miles on that ride.

Today was supposed to be a light ride. We rode to Abby’s workplace to get a timecheck for the route…around 30 minutes and approximately 5.5 miles. Well, we took the long way back and rode on the Greenway and back through the battlefield to finish up around 13 miles for the whole trip. A little bit of soreness, and a nap was necessary.

Something I highly recommend to everyone — we started using the calorie counter and weight tracker on The Daily Plate. We have been tracking net calories for the past week, and let me tell you accountability is worth its weight in gold. Because we are able to see how many calories are left for daily intake in order to lose n lbs per week, we are much more cautious about what we do eat.
