http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Blog of almost daily workouts on the PPPM - Pedal Powered Prime Mover - to generate electricity for use in my home office. en-us Copyright 2007, The WEBworks http://www.got.net/~davidbu/davidbu/avatar.gif http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen.html David Pedaling the PPPM http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Early work meeting, and hardware problems. Hard drive in Virtual Gym laptop is failing. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Early work meeting. That and needing to quit early for microsoft bug fixes! http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html A little catch up from the short ride yesterday. Plenty of sleep - feels great! Drive roller is holding up well. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Short ride due to excessive work. Seems to be happening a lot lately. The business I work for is poorly run. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Making up for yesterday's short ride. Lots of studying to do, so it's ok. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Very short ride. Exhausted after a long week. Longer ride planned tomorrow. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Retirement planning - 10 years off. Seems like a long time. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Late start, brisk ride! Feels great. Sunshine - Spring is coming! Three blinking greens with the laptop on! http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Late night, late start. Managed a 100 Watt pace - but it was tough! I think I am near the peak of my condition for this level of workout. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Strong ride after plenty of sleep. Sleep makes a huge difference. I answered YouTube video comments. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Cloudy days - batteries aer low. I'm riding extra to help charge them. New bettereis would help too. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Beautiful Spring Day! I'm planning bike rides - maybe next weekend? The bike is ready - am I? http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Spring is here. Warm, wet, cloudy, windy. Nice Spring day. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Extra workout time to make up for some of short rides. The PPPM is running well! http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Banking power - ahead of pace. That means I can take a vacation now and then! Cloudy day - batteries were low. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Strong ride. Sleep makes all the difference. Much work to do today. Taxes this weekend. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Short ride due to late work night and morning meeting. Work continues to compete for energy time. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Brisk ride - early work meeting - I hate them! Part of the job, I guess. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Great ride. I was cold so I rode hard. Watched Heroes again. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Plans! Cool Spring day. I'll be doing taxes all day! http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html On pace. Planning my workday. Taxes this weekend. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Beautiful day. Smooth, quiet ride. Studied web analytics while riding. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Extra 10 for plans, and to counteract the foggy morning! Batteries were low. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Smooth ride. Cool, cloudy day. I really need the energy! I got enough sleep and I am rolling. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Nice strong ride after a late night. I watched an episode of Heroes powered by me. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Working hard to stay fit for this Summer! http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Short, hard ride. Lots of work to do. It will be nice when work tapers off a bit, as it usually does during the Summer. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Smooth ride, but I was short on sleep. Mising even 30 minutes of sleep slows me down. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Great start, averaging 125 Watts for the first 50 Wh. Then I got a little tired and slowed down to 110 Watts or so. I felt great at the end of the ride. http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Smooth, fast ride! Fast start - 120+ Watts. That's hard to sustain for an hour, but I try! http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/workout.html Short ride - lawn to maw! Lots of spillover work from last week too.
