Long Ride #1

… went pretty darn well. I’m very much relieved that I finally, less than three months out from the big day, have a long ride under my belt. And it felt pretty darn good. I managed the whole thing and didn’t really feel all that tired at any point during the ride. I felt like I could have gone on longer if need be which is always a good thing.

The weather conditions were in my favor in that I started out with a head wind that would continue to gain strength throughout the morning. So when I hit the turn around, I probably had a stronger tail wind that was pushing me home than I had to fight on the way out. As such, my average speed is probably higher than what it should be, but I’ll take it!

For the geeks out there that like data, here you go. :)

I hope everyone had a great weekend and Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there!

  5. oh and thanks for the feedback on the race plan. I probably went overboard but I’m a bit of a nut (probably obvious from my blog). I guess we’ll see in a week if I can stick to most of it.

  9. There are so few training times when the elements are completely on our side - wind, weather, flat tires, etc. It all appeared on your side :)
