Thankfully, though, I've been out on my bike training for the PMC, which is the most important thing. Especially given that it's just 58 short days away.
To date this season, I've ridden 515 miles over 29 rides. My average ride is under 20 miles - shorter than last season but at least I'm getting out on my bike more frequently.
Some short term goals:
- Pick up the pace in terms of mileage and do at least 60-80 miles per week going forward
- Do a few significant back to back rides so that getting up and out on my bike at 5:30 a.m. for a second 80 mile day won't be a total shock to my body
- Learn some basic bike maintenance so I won't feel so inept if my tire goes flat or my chain continues to squeak
- And one last one just for grins.... my perpetual goal to lose just 5 more pounds.....
