When I heard the warm(er) weather was coming I set my goal starting Thursday of 10 hours on the bike before the end of day Sunday. I really did not think I could do it. Most likely bailing on Sunday after four days. The three hours on Sunday put me pretty on the money.
Sundays ride was by no means a barn burner with several riders still on mountain bikes but we did hit the rolling hills of the kettle moraine and I found myself working very hard several times getting my first taste of hills this spring.
When you weigh 100 or more pounds than most, there is no way you can ride "base" with the group. Its wide open or get dropped. But any way you look at it its great to gain a little composure on the bike. Sundays ride left Steve M's place. We had almost 15 bikes. A mix of road, cross and MTB. Near 3 hours, about 46 miles with a mini mart stop in the middle. Its was a blast.
I was pretty sore last nite but I feel pretty good this morn. No doubt in my mind I gained a little as I felt better on the bike at hour nine than I did on hour three.
I rode more (outside) in the last 4 days than all of February combined.
Hope to keep it going. And I dont see how I cant with the weather getting even better this week. Bring it on.
