Nervous

On the Friday lunch meeting ride, as we headed out towards AF canyon, I was riding on Rick's wheel and a SUV pulled up by the side of me and started rolling down it's window. Canyon road to AF Canyon practically has no shoulder with a decent amount of traffic. I started getting nervous - Did I swerve out in front this car? Am I going to get yelled at? Are they going to throw something at me? Are they going to run me off the road and drive forward and backwards over my bike? To me relief, they pulled past me. Of course, they started up a conversation with Rick.

Points for the week 5



Here is Coach Dan's point system.

The points start over every week. Each day is worth up to a max of 3 points Only 6 days a week count for points (you have to take at least one day a week off) Points are earned doing only aerobic activities as follows: (weight lifting is cool, but no points for it)

1 point for each:
1 hour of outdoor cycling
1 hour of hiking, snowshoeing, or backcountry skiing
45 minutes of indoor cycling (trainer or spin class)
45 minutes of cross country skiiing
30 minutes of running
30 minutes of swimming

At the end of the week if you scored at least 1 point over 4 consecutive days, total points for the week are multiplied by 1.25 (25% bonus). If at least 1 point was earned over all 6 days, total weekly points are multiplied by 1.5 (50%) bonus. No fractions of points. So if you ride for 90 minutes, you get 1 point. You have to complete the 2nd hour to get the second point. With that said, riding 3 hours every day gives you 18 points, plus the bonus puts the total max points for a week at 27.
