| 1/30/01 | 13 | Exercise Bike | 36 | After 2 days of rest, I'm feeling much better. I focused on high rpms again, spinning fast and occasionally adding higher resistance for a few minutes. |
| 1/31/01 | 12 | Exercise Bike | 33 | Same as yesterday, high rpms with intermittent high resistance. |

| 2/3/01 | 17 | Lake Merced Loop | 75- | A little disappointed in this ride, since the route they chose cut out two great hills in the Presidio, but I finished it fast, and the weather could not be beat - sunny, gorgeous views of the ocean. |
| 2/4/01 | 54 | Soquel to Watsonville Loop | ~360 |
GREAT ride! The weather was amazing - 70, sunny, some headwinds that were'nt to fun but overall a terrific day for riding. We took our time, so it was a long day, but it was nice to get a feel for being out that long. Good company too. |

| 1/27/01 | 45 | Uvas reservoir - Morgan hill Loop | ~260 | Ouch! 1/3 of the way into the ride I steered into a rut and wiped on the side of the road. I was very lucky - my helmet cracked but my head was fine. I landed on dirt instead of pavement. Except for scrapes and bruises, I'm fine. The folks on the ride with me really helped me out. My back wheel was a little funky, but they were able to get it in good enough shape so I could get to a bike shop in Morgan Hill and have the wheel trued. I continued on with the ride, a little battered but grateful to be in one piece |

I was pretty stiff after my tumble yesterday, so I decided to rest up today. |

| 1/20/01 | 30 | Old La Honda loop | 125 | Terrific ride. Climbed up the dreaded hill - 3 miles of uphill - with relative ease. |
| 1/21/01 | 16 | LG Creek Trail | 110 | Flat, but I wanted to get two days in a row on the bike. (15-20 minutes were spent in a tire inflation fiasco. At least now I know how my pump works!) |

| 1/9/01 | 8 | Exercise Bike, flat | 22 | My left knee has been hurting with any resistance, so I'll be keeping it flat on the stationary bike and focusing on real hills, where I can shift into lower resistance. |
| 1/10/01 | 11 | Exercise Bike, flat | 30 | Low resistance |
| 1/11/01 | 10 | Exercise Bike, flat | 28 | Low resistance |
| 1/12/01 | 13 | Exercise Bike, flat | 36 | Low resistance |
| 1/13/01 | 36 | Santa Teresa-Morgan Hill-LG loop | 24 | Great ride - good hills and terrific camaraderie. Met lots of great riders, stopped for lunch in LG. Very fun ride. |

| 12/23/00-1/1/01 | - | Nothing :( | - | The holidays kept me from doing much in term of working out. I did spend a lot of time in bike shops though, test riding various potentials. |
| 1/2/01 | - | Bought my bike!! | - | Schwinn Super Sport GLX |
| 1/3/01 | 16.2 | Exercise Bike, random hills | 45 | |
| 1/4/01 | 10.8 | Exercise Bike, random hills | 30 | Left hamstring felt tight and pulled just above the back of the knee. I’m going to lay off hills on the exercise bike, since it pulls on that muscle. |
| 1/5/01 | 11.5 | Exercise Bike, flat | 32 | After 30 minutes of flat on the exercise bike, hamstring felt much better than yesterday. |
| 1/6/01 | ~31 | Training ride: Stanford-Portola Hill loop | 180 | Got lost - whoops - but at least I got an extra hill in for training. The new bike was great. Shifting took some getting used to, and I was at the back of the pack, but going my own pace felt great. |
| 1/7/01 | 12 | Los Gatos Creek Trail | 120 | Tested out my new clipless pedals! First time in these so I did a lot of stopping to get used to them. Didn't fall the first time out so I'm hopeful that I'll get the hang of it!! |
