Boy did that sneak up on me! Over 3000 miles ridden for the year and the Seattle to Portland is just two weeks away!
Last year I didn’t hit the 3000 mile mark until after the STP… (Actually rode almost 4000 miles for 2006). At my current pace, I am well on my way to to exceed last year’s total miles!
Looks like my riding the trainer is paying off. Last year I would ride every other day, riding 1.5 hours (25 miles or so), adding longer rides as the STP came closer.
This year, I’m riding almost every day except Sunday, putting in at least an hour on the trainer (15 to 20 miles depending how I’m feeling and if I did any long rides prior.)
I feel stronger, and I am able to ride faster and stay on the road longer…
This STP should be a great one! (lets hope for no problems like last year!)
