The Big Ride

Sunday's schedule called for a 30 mile ride, my first biggie in prep for a century ride and longer than I have ever ridden. (rode?) you say pore, I say pour!

Actually it was Saturday but Saturday was too blustery. I held off a day hoping for milder weather. I caught a break. Wind gust were only 20-30!

I made the distance. 28.6 miles in 2 hrs 41 minutes plus breaks put it just over 3 hours ttl and avg 11+ mph. No great accomplishment but I do feel motivated to continue now that I know I can do it. This Saturday is a 34 mile ride. I will not cut this one short. Week day workouts are confined to the trainer as it is chilly, windy and a few days rainy.
