I participated in my club's training ride this evening. This is a weekly ride held every Tuesday evening. The course is a 2-mile loop with a 200 ft. hill on the backside. I did 14 laps this evening for a total of 28 miles and 2800 feet of climbing in one hour and 24 minutes. That works out to an average of 20 miles per hour, a pretty good pace for a training ride.
Am I ready for the Challenge ride? I'm not sure but I'm getting close. I'm a bit concerned that my longest ride has been last Saturday's 39 miler. I'm going to do something longer this weekend. Maybe as much as 60 miles.
I noticed today that my bike needs new tires. The ones I like, the Michelin Pro2 Race, cost almost as much as automobile tires and weigh about 1/50th as much. Talk about a small form factor premium!
Mileage so far: 394.5
Projected mileage: 534
Days left: 11
