Training ride


Yesterday I did a really nice 80 mile training ride an the Longleaf Trace.  This ride is tied for the most miles I’ve done in a day as I’ve made this ride once before in May of 2008.  This time over I made it in 6 hours instead of 9, and I could walk afterwords.

My nutrition was good as I was able to ride strong even towards the end.  The temperature started at 40 but was 50 near the end,  everything was fine except for my toes.  Wool socks and shoe covers are next to buy.

I’m really happy with how well this one turned out and I expect to do well at the brevet January 16th.
