August 2nd Tech Records Wierdly

My butt got even more sore today and my WIFI Speaker's power died during my ride on the way back home. Somehow the Great Cycle Challenge Canada app recorded me riding just over 33.1 Km when my Amazfit Bib 3 Pro fitness watch only recorded 24.57 Km. I fixed the auto ride recorder on the GCCC app to show 24.57 KM instead. I wonder if it's because I am recording my ride through the GCCC app, MapMyFitness, Google Fit and the Zepp app that connects to my Amazfit Bib 3 Pro fitness watch. Does anyone have an idea why there is so much a discrepancy between the great cycle challenge app and the zip app?

August 1st 2025

Because it was hot most of July nearing 90°F on many days and the humidity being near 100°F or above, I didn't get much training in July done especially the last few weeks before today. And so when I rode today when I hit 15 km my butt became very sore but I pressed on anyway because I had my music blaring on my Wi-Fi speaker hanging on my bike. I must remember not to go near the water treatment plant because it interferes with my fitness watche's GPS and so it canceled part of my ride. I actually rode 22.6 km according to my bike's distance indicator. See the route I rode above.

Another Training Ride

Went up just to Lesperance Rd and Riverside Drive and then took a little ride down East side of Little River Rd and then took that back until I could get to the east side of the Ganatchio Trail and then went through the trail and then went to more west part of Little River Road to Frank Ave. and was home.

Today was about staying on the bike longer without getting off and taking a break. I'm trying to get between 17 Km and 20 Km before taking a break before heading home. It's all about how long my behind can sit on the bike seat.

My Birthday Ride

I went out for a birthday brunch with my older daughter my younger daughter and her husband. My older daughter and I had French toast with bacon and I had chocolate milk. Plus later I'll be going out again for my supper birthday although it'll be Qdoba so less calories but still I will be having my birthday cake black forest cake and I needed to have a ride to kill some of those calories plus also trained for the Great Canadian cycle challenge to try to wipe out kids cancer. See the picture.

May 12 GCCC Training Ride

My smartwatch's GPS didn't catch where I started (see GPS green dot) when I started but it did end where I started (see the black flag) and it only recorded 10 KM of the 11 KM my E-Bike recorded during my low training day this week for the Great Cycle Challenge Canada .

May 7, 2025 Training Ride

I thought it was going to be 73°F/24°C during my ride after coming home from grocery shopping, but by the time I got the groceries put away it dropped to the low 60s and when I got home from my ride it was 59°F here in East Riverside Windsor Ontario.

Despite that I peddled 26.7 KM to a mixed rock playlist and an all women's 1990's playlist that I put together for myself on YouTube Music. I like to peddle to music but my husband likes to peddle to talk podcasts.

Good Friday & 2nd Official Training Ride

I rode with my 69 yr. old husband today and we were able to go farther than the last time we rode 15.9 Kms. It was nice and warm today, so warm I wish I would have worn my shorts. We took a few trails around the East part of Windsor Ontario and stopped to check out the wild life and flowers on the trees. Anyway we had to stop riding at 15.9 Kms because I could sit on my bike seat anymore and my husband's knee had met their limit. Not bad for only the 4 time out on a bike since the beginning of March 2025. I can see that our bike riding training is ahead of schedule this year. See the picture showing slight difference from my bike odometer reading of 15.9, being 15.69 Kms from smartwatch.

Training Has Started For 2025

Today April 24, 2025 and today was my first serious bike riding training day for GCCC 2025 to fight Children's Cancer.

This year I am riding in honour of my friend Linda Hompath who died in March 2025, had many of the same interests, talents and age as me.

Today I rode just over 11 kms. This year I am hoping to get each ride up to 25 to 30 kms. See picture.
