"Chamber of Torture" prepared for riding

No no no - no offensive pictures at all. Well. If you find men in spandex bike shorts offensive - then please leave :-). 

So - chamber  of torture is my little shelter behind our house and not what you possibly thought. On the other side - for me it is kind of  a torture. It is where my race bike is mounted on a home trainer, that I can train in the winter season. 

I'm 47 years old and everything I eat goes directly (!) around the middle part of my body. I read this article the other day at the barber about the fat in, well on or at my belly. Which seems to be dangerous. It is cancer-causing, makes you tired, doesn't look good  and last but not least - it is no sixpack.  So, I'm weighing 91 kg  at 183 cm - which means a BMI of around 27. This is very  - very close to overweight.

Therefore I go into the chamber of torture for the winter training .... 



Train on  this kind of thing is the most boring thing you can do.  I need to customize the environment a bit to make this is little more comfy. The first thing I need WIFI - this is easy, I'll take the powerline adapter. Then I need something what holds my laptop ( --> music, film or youtube ). Ok done.  Next ? Riding ....

Bike to Work - now this is getting serious

Image
So, taking a long time thinking about buying a E-Bike for my daily commute, I finally did it. Yesterday my ordered Giant Quick E+ arrived at the dealer. I've got a email message and almost couldn't wait for picking it up. The bike supports me till  around 45km/h. This way I can almost go with 33-35 km/h in average. This means almost one hour faster, than with my "normal" mountainbike on my commute.  My commute is about 46 km one way - so, going by my normal mountain bike was sometimes hard. However - I love to ride my bike, therefore I figured - ok - with an E-Bike you are faster but - to be fast, you need to pedal as you do before with your normal bike. This means still sports 😊.  Here we go:  As I live in Germany - I need to insure this bike. Here it is seen as a small motorbike because of the support till 45 km/h. It is hard to see, but on the rear - there is a number plate .... . Yes. This is Germany. Also I got a back mirror, although this is actuall...

Weitwinkel Sonnenaufgang --- 365 Tage Fotoprojekt -- Tag 59

Image
Sonnenaufgang 6:41 Uhr. Homeoffice. Bin gerade am email sichten. Mein Frau aus der Küche . “Hm, der Himmel ist ganz dunkel rot dahinten…”. Braucht kurz einen Moment bis das Gehörte ins Gehirn dringt - und bei dem Fotografen in mir ankommt. Ich drehe mich um und schaue aus dem Fenster. Tatsächlich. Der Horizont ist dunkelrot gefärbt. Das sieht gut aus - sehr gut sogar. Aber ich habe nur Homeoffice Comfy Sachen an ( also schlabberigerer JoggingAnzug samt BadHair Day). Egal - die alpha geschnappt. Weitwinkel ist noch drauf. Ab ins Auto, Scheibe kratzen ?, nein so kalt war es die Nacht doch nicht. Auf eine etwas erhöhte Stelle gefahren. Aber die Zeit ist gegen mich. Das dunkelrote ist schon einem orange gewichen. Sehr kurze Zeitspanne die da nur bleibt. Schade. Auch die Umgebung gibt jetzt nicht soviel her. Bleibt der Himmel. Die Bilder sind Out of Camera - nur etwas beschnitten, da es doch etwas weitwinklig war. Nicht so richtig was für das Auge. Beim ersten noch etwas besser mit dem...

Running 02.07.2017

Today I was running in the morning, flat terrain, flat pace, almost flat heartrate. Need to loose weight. Besides increasing sports overall, I need to seriously check my daily calorie intake - and what I eat for this intake. Today I do eat to much carbos - and to less protein. I try to turn this around.
