Sunny Sunday!


Sunday was the first sunny day here in Oregon in a long time. Joanne and I celebrated by riding 102 hilly miles. We gained over 5000 feet of elevation. Our route as Salem to Monmouth to Kings Valley Highway to Philomath, and then back again. While is was foggy on the way out, the sun came out on the return and the day was glorious!

Training Update - Week Five



Well, I did not meet the goal of 200 miles. In fact, I fell quite short. I did 25 on Wednesday, 30 on Sunday and 102 on Sunday for a total of 157. But, what I missed in miles, I tried to make up in elevation.

Next week, the suggested training goal is 190 miles; forty midweek miles, a 100 mile long ride and then a fifty mile recovery ride. But, I think I can do two midweek rides that total 50 miles, a very long ride on Saturday and then the 50 mile recovery ride. But we will see.
