While on vacation with the family in PA, I was able to sneak out and get some good training rides in. I was staying near Milford and got to ride out Rt 6 to Lake Wallenpaupack today. Although not as mountainous as western NC, the area has some scenic and very large rolling terrain. Route 6 is a declared PA bike route, and the section I road had very large 6 foot wide shoulders on each side just for biking (Did you read that NC DOT?).
I mentioned sneak out... I left the house at 07:15 after getting up to the alarm at 06:15. If you know me very well, you must think I'm lying. I wish.
I left Milford and headed West towards the lake. Things were very quiet, and the air was nice and cool (read low humidity). Just a perfect morning for a ride. The big trees and large hills made wearing sunglasses not at all required at that time in the morning.
There were some larger climbs along the route, and a continous band of medium sized rollers. Made it fun and challenging.
Passed a large number of scenes such as:
Along the way.
The lake appeared much quicker than I thought is was going to, so I spent some time riding around the lake to the dam. People and motorists were very polite, and most waved or said good morning as I went by. A wee bit different then I am used to at home.
Turned back and headed back to the house along the same route.
I stayed on a very consistent water and nutrition intake rate. BGs were great for the whole ride, and I felt very good. I was about 30 minutes from the end of the ride when I set my basal rate back to normal.
By the time I got back in the driveway, I had put in about 45+ miles with just under 5k of vert.
I tested at a 114 and then bolused 3.5u to prevent the post ride BG whip.
Later in the afternoon we all went to a water park that had a go kart track. The boys spent HOURS in the cars getting driven around by K and I and other family members.
Just a terrific and relaxing fun day.
