Friday I am heading down to a place called Loudonville, Ohio to take part in a 100 mile mountain bike race on Saturday.
So this week I am preoccupied with drop bags, tire choices, remembering my passport etc.
As for riding....I am going to take it very easy, a light spin tonight and then again tomorrow.
Last week's riding has set me up well - Joyride on Tuesday, skinnys & Jumps, Thursday hammer ride with buddies at Durham (actually....this ride really knocked to snot out of me....Geoff was out with us (work has meant he can't join us often)....anyways between Alan (way to fast) and Geoff the pace was higher than ever...with me and Geoff racing up the final set of climbs...me in front of Geoff...him passing me and opening a 200 foot gap...then me just relaxing the upper body and moving all energy into spinning the cranks...catching him on the final climb and finishing 100 feet up on him. Took everything I had. Love those rides. Saturday was planning on doing 60 or 70k mtn bike ride..but I learned a good lesson..I hadn't recovered my depleted reserves from Thursday, so I managed 38k with 3200 feet of climbing (went for every hill I could find including the back side of Dagmar). Sunday was a quick, hard 45k road ride with Mark & Martin.
