I like to ride my bicycle - for long distances. I have earned the California Triple Crown and finished the Furnace Creek 508. My goals include qualifying for RAAM and ...(read the blog to find out).

Another Wednesday night ride in the hills east of Salem. I felt weak tonight, mostly because I did not sleep well last night. You see, I had an intense pain in my right side just below my ribs. It was bad enought that I could not lie on either side, and as I find it had to go to sleep while on by back, it was a tough night. Go to the doctor you say? Well, I have. They (yes, they) can find nothing wrong. Guess I'll have to wait till it is so bad that they can not help but find a problem. So, my training plans for the rest of the week... Thursday - West Salem Hills with about 3000 feet of elevation gain. Friday - rest day Saturday - a 150 mile ride to the coast and back. Suday - an easy 60 miles. Sounds like fun! My training results for the week of 8/24 - 8/31: my goal was 160 miles but I rode 191.54 miles. However, my long ride was short, but I more than made up for it during the mid-week.
