Yeah… no way in hell I am ever doin that
Alright enough is enough your bike is JUICED!!!
I can’t do it right now. The bike and I need a break. I am still mixing in some core and strength classes, but every time I think about getting on the bike I just can’t do it. I will be back once it gets cold out. Sorry fellow Refuge Riders.
Power Zone Pack Challenge is taking all my tough rides - everything else is Low Impact or a chill ride. I did take this one way back when though.
Three more weeks and I can rejoin the weekly challenges.
3 weeks in, and I still get my ass kicked and end up in a pool of sweat after 30-45 minutes rides, and still feels difficult to crack the top 50%. Now I know it will take some time to get some strength and endurance, but good god are these workouts hard. Great workout that’s definitely worth the money, but I’ve never had my ass kicked so quickly so many times.
half the battle is just showing up. I have an enormous puddle under me even after 20 min rides. the point of it is to be hard, keep after it and you’ll see progress.
My effort has been going into watching all the stories from Ally’s wedding week on Instagram 

there’s been some HEAT coming out of that week for sure.
Honestly it grossed me out. I’m glad she’s having the celebration she wants but a “5-day curated event” (her words) that seems to be designed for the Gram is just not my thing. I had to unfollow. Again, not yucking her yum but man, that’s just not my bag, baby
Bear in mind most of the longer rides I do, like today’s, are endurance - so zones 2 and 3 out of 7. Never working nearly as hard as one does in most normal classes, but just for a long time. It’s good to do, and in theory helps build up the strength for those shorter bursts you need in a climb class, and such.
I’m enjoying the Basics program. It’s forcing me to try each instructor, otherwise I’d be on a strict Emma, Matt, Olivia rotation. The last two rides have taken it up a notch. Planning on the Ally ride later today.
Makes a lot of sense.
OK folks here’s this week’s ride, courtesy of yours truly.
Tunde’s 30 Min Hip Hop from 5/8/21. Should be “tough but fair.” @ChickPhilA please update the title when you have a moment.

Somehow it got updated but with Alex’s name, not Tunde…?
I f’d up.
I’m going to miss the ride this week, out of town until Sunday night. Need to sneak in a stretch or something to keep the weekly streak going.
Can I use your bike for the ride this week since you’re away?
go for it. I had it calibrated and checked over recently so I’m sure it’ll meet your needs.
