Getting back to work means less time for long rides. I did get in a century today, a cool, sunny, clear day that made cycling a pleasure. It is my first in 3 weeks. Doing a century feels effortless; what a change from the spring.
Most of my rides have been shorter: 30 to 50 miles. I don’t know if they really count for training. But it is the only way to get 300 miles a week. At least I am getting in the rhythm of daily riding. It has been 14 straight days.
Friday was true training. I got in 56 miles. It was climbing in the rain: over 6000 feet of climbing. That counts as work.
