April started with a bang. Rode almost 40 miles yesterday to have my bike checked for next week’s 168 mile ride and today plan to do about 30 mile group ride and then the plan is to rest all week. The ride was the longest I’ve done so far using regular roads (not the Silver Comet trail with nice 3% max grades). I was able to just take 4 Advils after the ride and didn’t develop any new pains nor aches that my loyal massage chair wasn’t able to handle. Thank God I had no chills nor fever at the end of the ride. I drank 4 bottles of water during the ride and didn’t feel dehydrated at all.
Took almost 2 months to get over 100 miles in 2010. I bet April will finish with about 400 miles and May should be around the same since I signed up for a 62 (or maybe 100 mile) ride for May 16th and if I finally get to hit a 250 mile bike to work week. Thus June is the target to hit my 1st 1,000 miles out of my 2,000 miles for 2010 goal. I think June should be ripe for a 101 mile trip to Alabama on the Silver Comet Trail. From the time I got the bike end of September until now – total mileage is 431 miles. Thus May will technically could break the initial 1,000 miles.
1,869 miles to go (for 2010).
