long day on bike

legs feel tired. just got done with 3.5 hours in the saddle. ended up somewhere near 45 miles. Stopped at about 35 miles and met up with brad, matt and steve for the hill drill workout. Grabbed a quick snickers and protein bar at the hen house while waiting for them to get suited up. Was only able to complete 3 laps of the hill circuit, legs were fading fast, plus the rain started to fall and I wanted to get home. The ride back was cold and wet.
Have to present at the midwest dental conference tomorrow which translates to 4 straight hours of standing up. I needed to get a good ride in before the weekend. Friday will be cold and saturday colder with rain, maybe snow. Probably not going to race spring fling on saturday, but we have the bazaar road race in kansas on sunday. Sunny with high of 55, and 50 miles of pain. should be good though. Not sure how my body will handle the long distance. I'm going to skip the regular cat 5 race (30 miles) and race the 4/5's with the rest of my team. If i'm going to drive that far i might as well ride the longer race. I'll let you know how things go.

  1. sounds grueling...is 50 miles the longest ride to date? Do well...don't bonk out.
