Half-way There!

Believe it or not, this weekend coming up is the half-way point of the training. We are shooting for 46 miles at a decent pace. Are you up for the challenge?

Last week, I rode by myself on Saturday. Since I was alone, I stretched the distance from the targeted 30 miles to 46. It was an excellent ride going out to Fermi Lab - little wind, reasonably warm and sunshine peaking out between the clouds. I was feeling good and continued on to Fermi Lab but - of course - the minute I turned around the wind whipped up into a good headwind. Shortly after the rain started and I had a long, wet ride home.

Sunday was great. Chad, Matt, and I had a solid ride for 35 miles in sunshine that has been sorely missed for the last few weeks.

This week, we are at the half-way point. 46 miles and building fast. See the training schedule for the remaining weeks.
