My Training Areas Part 4
Here are thumbnails of the river trails along the North Saskatchewan River. It was cold the day my wife took these pictures. We walked the trail that day, but it will be a tough cross-country run when it comes to that. There are some really bad patches and lots of hills, one of which you practically have to climb on your hands and knees…
My Training Areas Part 3
My hill-training hill. Here is one of the roads down into the river valley. The car is our car with me in it, and my wife snapping the photo. I stopped the car at the 200 meter mark which is how far I go before I turn around and come back down. When I ran repeats on this hill, on my last repeat I decided to go all the way to the top, which is another 300 meters farther than the car.
My Training Areas Part 2
The HWY 60 bridge near Devon. I use this road to bike into town on my cross-training days. It’s a tough hill into town, and just as tough going back. It’s tough in other ways as well, such as the traffic hazard as you cross the bridge across the North Saskatchewan River Valley. This view is looking north towards my acreage which is 5 miles (8k) to the northwest. Truckers use the highway to discard chunks of steel and two by fours onto the shoulder of the highway, especially when they hit the bumps on the bridge deck. Ok, I’m being a little bitter about it. I’m just glad I haven’t been there when the missiles fly off the trucks. I wish they had more consideration.
Ready for Battle
Ok, it looks like I have solved some of my upload problems. The look of this blog will keep changing for a while. I have decided to include “thumbnails” for quick loading, and leave it up to you to click on the thumbnail for a larger image. These are not true thumbnails, just small pictures. All the images should be under 300k. It looks like I’m ready for battle, and for me it is a battle to get on my bike and pedal like a maniac for 20-25 miles and three huge hills once a week. Stay tuned and you will get to see my training areas, although they will seem dismal due to the coming winter…all the leaves are brown…
