Well, I was working on totalling my mileage for the year, when I discovered that I have ridden over 5000 miles as of last weekend! I have completed three double centuries, with Knoxville coming up on September 21. After Knoxville, I will be doing the Death Valley Double. This will be my second Death Valley Double. You can see a picture of me at the finnish line of last year's ride here. I'm on the far right. But, this weekend is a three day weekend. On Saturday, I plan a hard and fast 75 miles, Sunday will be a 50 mile recovery ride, and on Labor Day I will do a hard century. This will give me 225 miles for the weekend.
