A century ride(100 miles) has been a goal of mine for the year. I built up with some solo rides here and there in the summer mostly topping out around 60 miles or so. While that is a pretty good ride it leaves a fair amount to go. With my sisters wedding out of the [...]

Thursday – 25
MTD – 236
YTD – 1569
While yesterday morning looked like it might allow a ride around 10:00 that became unlikely. I had riding on the brain and I had already missed Tuesday for a retirement lunch, and Wednesday for my normal travels. I decided to “dust off” the rollers I have at work. The [...]
