Still riding

Well, as luck would have it, I didn't get to pull of the 40/50/60 milers in three days like I planned, but I did get in some excellant rides in the last week.
It's been tough getting ready for my morning rides when I can't get enough sleep. Tuesday night, I went to the regular ride and did a lot of work. I pulled hard for about 30 of the 35 miles. Wednesday and Thursday I did a couple of good solo rides and felt great. I decided to take a day off on Friday, but I find that after a day off I do not feel or ride as good as I should.
Two more weeks until TdG and I am hoping that all the hill work that I have been doing here helps me to do a great ride.

Ride On!

Back on the Bike

Well, I had to take another day off. I wasn't feeling all that great this past Saturday so instead of pushing it I decided it would be best to stay off the bike. I helped out a friend put together a couple of bookcases for their new entertainment center. That took up most of the day, so I didn't have much time to miss riding. I think the time off will help out. Tonight I went out and did an easy 35 from the house to Marion and back. The wind was really strong so I had to work harder than I wanted, but I still took it easy.
The next three days I plan to do a 40, 50 & 60 miler. The 50 will probably be broken up into two rides, but I have to log some longer rides to get ready for the TdG at the end of the month.
More updates to come.
Ride On!
