Another Sunday ride in the books. Today was interesting as both my MTB and Gravel are waiting on some part replacements from a few hiccups during our Vermont trip. Switched the Fat Bike into summer mode for a romp through Durham Forest, legs are on fire lol
Happy Sunday (now Monday)

Went for a 9 hole golf tourney today. Was more fun than expected and I’m hoping it doesn’t suck me in…
But we had carts…and beer…and food…
I might be in the wrong thread.

have never played golf before, but it doesnt look particularly physical or athletic.
The driving range is more fun. But then I used to play in this charity tournament once a year fn*** frustrating game. Walking the course is more exercise.
Where do i start, 20km of hiking/backpacking at algonquin with kiddo
10km of rail trail
She was a trooper and kept on going.

Shoulders and legs today, 700m walk with a 25lb toddler on my shoulders, and just for in from a 4km walk around da hood.
Good day.

This is week 3 of no weights. I don’t take many weeks off and it’s been a couple years since I took a week off so it was time. Been doing rucking with 35lbs on my back 2-3 times per week as more of a cardio workout.
Something happened to my shoulder. Not sure whether pulled something or injured something but right shoulder is effed.
Need to take it easy while that heals.

I'm in a similar situation rubbish shoulders,two torn biceps and iffy elbows from a life well lived and my solution ended up being more volume with less intensity. Upper body cardio if you will. Long skierg sessions as well as cadence work on a upper body ergometer (think arm bike). Using this routine its hard to injure yourself so you can maintain the program without healing time outs.
This routine will not bulk you up but if will add strength and if your diet isn't too poor it will add good definition to you upper body.
Did legs a couple nights ago, and man the DOMS are brutal 
Back squat 5x5
B.B. RDL 3x5
Leg extension drop set 3x20/20/20
Smith Machine squats 1x100
Walking lunges 1x5min
Cycling 1x10min 70% effort
My home version is to use ankle straps and resistance bands for leg extensions, and the foam roller against the wall for smith machine squats.

Bike commute to work, the breeze was PERFECT. I changed my gearing to remove a tooth in the back... definitely could hit faster speeds. Getting used to the feel of the gravel tires. I think the knee is not happy though so i have to figure something out with the fit
EDIT) also spotted this morning on lakeshore westbound... 2 lanes fully clear. Absolutely NO cars.
2 cyclists were riding abreast and a dump truck (that could easily change lanes) honked at them uselessly because they were taking the car lane (when they had the next lane fully open...no cars in sight behind or ahead)
