Friends…
Plus:
One badass bike…
Plus this:
One badass pace…
Equals Zzzzzzzzzz…..
*Disclosure: The duration is correct for the ride, the average is distorted because the last half-mile is used as a cool down. Our actual average for Tuesday night was between 20.8 and 20.9 mph. For the “B” Group. I use the time that we cross the finish line (City Limits Line) for historical reasons.
It’s been a pretty tough week at work. I’m lucky if I get three or four hours of sleep a night.
Not Tuesday night though. No, I made sure everything was taken care of before the club ride and ignored my phone until the ride was done. I was out (asleep) before 9:30 and didn’t wake up till the alarm went off at 4:30. Seven hours may not seem like much to normal folk but that’s an hour or two better than I’m used to getting on a good day. Tuesday night seven felt like twelve.
No doubt though, a good bike ride fixes a lot of problems for me.
Oh goodness, good ole insomnia, I personally think I have had it since very young , since I mean I chose to stay up all night with the brother and play video games but as I got older, man oh man, it progressed for a while but these days it isn’t AS bad, but still obviously there. I like how you added the whole “stress” , because yes, that would be my reasons for it progressing lately, the stress. Thankfully the gym workouts have calmed my mind but outside of that I need to start up other hobbies! lol. and I don’t mean blogging! I might look into riding my bike again, haven’t for ages, but hey the weather is getting nicer, so might be time to do something new every once in a while.

I sleep like a old stump every night. The “resistance” could have yet another large meltdown in my bedroom, and I wouldn’t hear them, and that’s not entirely due to the fact that they are stupid, so I ignore them. I also run between 100 – 150 km a month. More if I’m training for something special. Seamus O’Malley also sleeps like a professional. A happy dog is a tired dog. Coincidence? Ride on, stay stress free, and sleep well.
Thanks Gail, I shall.
I WISH I could get by on that little sleep! 7 hours and I’m exhausted, I aim for 8. All my issues with fitting in enough runs and work and social time would be gone with an extra 3 hours a day!!
Oh, it is awesome, don’t get me wrong!
