I rode 16 miles at the Cove on Saturday. It was difficult at times, and I had an opportunity to turn right head up the mountain and end the ride a bit sooner than I did, but what did I do? Went straight and added more elevation. I really am enjoying myself and the time I get to spend on my bikes, but I want to ride longer distances now. I know the race in October is 31 miles (~50km), but if I do that successfully, what's next 50 miles? Yea sure why not. There's just something neat about saying that I can do that. What's cooler is riding on a trail through this beautiful area. I can't think of a better way to spend my time.
As for road riding, I've accomplished two 40 mile road rides recently, I do think it's time to go for 50 miles on the road, and I'll look for an opportunity to do that soon. I have a calendar written out with what I want to ride on what day. I have a race on 9/15 so that's taking some planning. Of course, work is ever present so I'm limited to ~20-25 miles of road during the week. I'm hoping to slide in some MTB miles during the weeks coming up because of the R*t*R Meltdown.
Hopefully all of this riding isn't for naught. I hope to stay healthy (you know no colds, etc), and I hope I've planned this right. We'll see.
Meanwhile, I'm bored!!!
