  • 50 KM Night Bike Ride

    I wanted to go out on a bike ride yesterday, but was busy with work. So today, after coming home, I went out on a ride. It was about 5:30PM. I came back at around 7PM. It felt really good. I was a bit slower than a few weeks ago, but it was still a…

  • 6.6 Km Night Run

    Tonight, I decided to go for another run. I was a bit sore from yesterday’s run, but I need to train, so I told my wife that I was going out. She said that she would join me. I was surprised, but liked having company. We took the same riverside route. It was along the…

  • 6.6 KM Night Run

    After Chad bought some running shoes, I suggested that we go run together tonight. I hadn’t worked out for about a month and was jonesing for some endurance sports. Having someone else run with you holds you accountable. It’s been a while since I seriously ran. I really love biking, but it’s not as good…

  • A Metric Century Night Bike Ride

    I was way too tired last week to go out on bike rides. I was back at teaching fulltime, around 28 hours a week, on top of that, I was covering some freelance blog posts at Unplggd. That meant that I was going to bed very late and waking up early. My system included a…

  • 70 KM Night Bike Ride

    You may wonder why I keep posting all of these Kuota KOM images. The answer is pretty simple. It’s the bike that I’m trying to get. So I was supposed to do at least 100 km, but only managed to do 70. The advantage of doing loops is that you have the flexibility of stopping…

  • 70 KM Night Bike Ride

    Well, I finally managed to go out and train. Since I came back from Hong Kong last Monday, a typhoon devastated Southern Taiwan and we have been plagued with rain. So basically, since Tuesday the 4th of August, I have been waiting for the rain to abate. I need to get another training solution so…

  • 50 KM Night Bike Ride

    My day started a bit late, so I only ended getting ready for my ride at around 6PM. I don’t think that it was a bad idea to wait though, as it was a scorcher outside.

  • 70 KM Night Bike Ride

    I didn’t manage to go on a ride yesterday. I felt a bit too knackered to ride. Since I wasn’t working today, I took the opportunity to catch up on some sleep and go out on a bike ride. I had some errands to run in Taipei, so I only went out at about 6:30PM.

  • 50 KM Night Bike Ride

    After a nap, I went out for a ride. I didn’t feel very rested, but that wasn’t the point. I knew that I wouldn’t do 70km. My legs weren’t up to that. On top of that, there was a mean cross wind on the Yonghe side of the Xindian River. However, it was almost completely…

  • 70 KM Night Bike Ride

    After taking Monday off, and not getting up early enough on Sunday for my group ride, I decided to go out tonight. I was planning on going out at around 4PM, but it rained, so I had to wait until 6PM. The roads were semi-dry at that point.
