Well I’m going to have to fit in 19 miles of riding in Hilo by the end of Saturday to get my 120 in for the week. It’s sort of interesting how 19 miles, which used to be a goodly distance for me a couple of years back, now seems like something to toss off. I’ll enjoy riding them, but it won’t seem like much.
Next week will be a challenge though. My schedule shows that I need 130 miles for the week and I probably won’t be able to ride on Sunday and will only be able to add a couple on Monday before coming home. That means I’ll have to count on a long ride on Saturday. Luckily the following week drops a bit again to 100 so I won’t have to double up too much with back to back Saturday and Sunday distance fests. That’ll come soon enough.
My weeks to RAGBRAI look like this:
120 (This week – almost pau)
130
100
130
150
175
65 (travel week)
454
It would be easy enough to get in 140 a week with 20 a day if I had a bit more time but it seems the rest of my life definitely requires some attention as well.
I’m also debating some new tires for the Friday. I’m riding on Schwalbe Marathon 20×1.50’s right now which are fine and fairly bullet proof. I’m thinking of moving up to 20×1.75 for some extra cushioning. Speed is never really an issue with me. I’m slow on all tires.
Decisions, decisions. I’m glad I’m not waiting for a new frame though (at least not any longer).
Aloha
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
