The Last 4 days
After my 52 kilometer ride on Saturday i did not ride again till today, we have had some impressive winds here and i thought after 8 days straight of riding i would have a couple of days off the Mountain bike.
Today though i went for a ride just after 8.30am and yes it was super windy again, 40 kilometer winds battered me around but it was good with the wind behind me :)
It was quite a workout going back into the wind but i survived, we had some sun to go with the wind so it wasn't all bad.
The three days i didn't ride i didn't just sit around and do nothing, i decided to do some longer walks with my 10 kg weighted vest on.
I burnt about the same number of calories in a 2 hour walk when compared to a 2 hour Mountain bike ride.
Getting more and more used to wearing the weighted vest while walking and it certainly makes it harder, today all of my walking has been done without the weighted vest.
Here are my walking stats from day 1 of wearing the weighted vest
Been doing the housework and cooking dinner which is pretty normal for me when i am not working, i coked a yummy Roast chicken last night which turned out fantastic.
We had vegetables and salad and of course a Garlic bread.
This has pretty much been the last 4 days for me here in New Zealand :)
Thanks for reading my post today and have a good day :)

Forty-kilometer winds sound brutal to ride in. At least you got a nice push on the way back though. That roast chicken with garlic bread sounds like a solid reward after all those weighted walks.

It was very windy but still fun and at least going into the wind makes the body work harder :)
Yep the Chicken was just what i needed.

hello..
Well I found you always have a way to keep practicing and exercising even if it's just at home.
By the way, in my city the weather is very windy right now, and it makes me a little scared.
have a wonderful day.
