A Short Ride and a Chance to Jump In Again

We anticipated a character builder last weekend with the weather - and we sure had that. There was actual snow on Saturday - mixed with rain and it was cold. No other riders showed up and I just didn't have enough character to ride by myself in that mess! Sunday was not much better, but at least it was not snowing and the rain had let up. Matt and I rode the full 41 miles. We had lots of wind and hard little pellets of sleet hitting us at points in the ride. None-the-less, we had a pretty decent time and got about 3 miles west of Route 59 in West Chicago.

In the past, we have taken this week (week 5) as a rest week and done only a short ride of 20 miles. Since we have missed three rides due to weather in the past four weeks, we are going to compromise a bit on this one. We are going to go for 30 miles at an easy pace. This is an excellent time to join us for the first time if you are still contemplating training with us for the ride. Say, if you have a bet or something like that.... After this week we will return to the training schedule for the remaining weeks.
