Getting Close

57 miles this weekend - each day. We are not in a hurry, so we will stop a couple of times to take a break and we won't leave anyone behind.

Last week Saturday still had some good winds, but not nearly as challenging as the prior week. Matt and I were the only riders although Joe stopped by to say hello. His cast is off, but he won't be riding for a few weeks yet. We completed 51 miles - again going through Fermi Lab. An moment of poetic justice was when a car flew by us on the road through Fermi Lab where the speed limit is 35 and shortly after a cop was on his tail. We passed him - pulled over - about a mile further down the road - no doubt getting a ticket from the officer.

Sunday was much a beautiful day and we headed west on the St. Charles road route. Nine miles out, Matt lost the bolt on his crank and he was down for the ride. That is not a field repair within my ability or tools. After getting Matt his car and sending him on his way, I completed 35 miles before I had to leave for the day.

This week, we shoot for 57 miles. See the training schedule for the remaining weeks.
