Training UpdatesChristmas Eve Miles: 54.83 December Miles: 332.01 Rides in the Rain: 10 Since all of our Christmas shopping was done, Joanne and I took the Cannondale Tandem out for a spin. We did both of Sunday's Salem Bicycle Club's rides, and got just a bit wet in the morning. But, by the afternoon, it was a very good day to ride. Tuesday Miles: 31.52 December Miles: 362.84 Rides in the Rain: 10 I joined the group from Scott's Cycle and did the Windor Island Loop. the group had two flats so our progress was somewhat slow. Wednesday Miles: 16.24 December Miles: 379.08 Rides in the Rain: 10 Three of us did the Salem Bicycle Club night ride. No wind. No rain. No troubles. Thursday Miles: 34.46 December Miles: 413.54 Rides in the Rain: 10 Scott's Thursday Night ride. Clear and cold! The Next EventMy next event is the Spring Death Valley Double on March 3, 2007. I have done this event several times before, each time a bit fast than the last. My best time is 14:19. Yes, I have set a goal. I hope to finish in less than 13 hours. To meet my goal, I have created a training plan. As you can see, it is somewhat agressive.
