    Yep - and I am gonna try to make your ride tonight. Don't know that I'm gonna be able to pedal the Luge too - only have my SlopeStyle and haven't ridden (or exercised) forever. Have no problem if you need to move faster - Whiting is my go to mental break home. I usually add Edison (a double loop if time permits) for more mileage.

    Speed will be easy, whatever it needs to be to finish the ride...maybe a nice 12-15mph average. The ride is posted in the calendar section under "WLC" roadie lunch ride or something like that. If nobody else shows up I'll most likely ride down to Camp Pendelton then back to MV.

    Only dropped another half lb this week. Still eating right but between work and my son being here not a whole lot of time to ride.

    Good stuff there - thanks for posting!

    I'm actually up about 1/3 lb this week, but I'll take that as a victory after a family road trip featuring little exercise and some non WLC-friendly food & drink. Now it's back to some of the things posted in the link above; cutting down on sugar and diet soda, trying to get more sleep, and riding 3-4 times per week. I'm also trying to work in at least 15 minutes of activity first thing in the morning - crunches on an exercise ball, dumbbell stuff, etc. I'm a big believer in ramping up your metabolism early in the day. I'm also trying to add mileage to my rides, whether they're tough miles or not. Yesterday, for example, I rode the normal Whiting loop, but added the West side of Mustard up to the Vista lookout (a Dreaded Hill-type climb), plus Cattle Pond and the extra up to Mark's Bench. That all makes for a loop of about 10 miles and almost 2,000 feet. But then I basically added a recovery ride on after Whiting, doing a bunch of fast but relatively flat trails and streets to bring the total to 24 miles and about 2500 feet. That extra stuff didn't add that much time, but it burns extra calories & fat, and the easier spinning seems to help my legs feel less dead the next day than when I just do a shorter, high-effort ride. At least that's my theory - it's working for me so far. :)

    I've been riding a lot and eating great since my weigh in on Saturday. Hopefully I can kill it this week. I'm back from vacation and I have the week off.
