That's me in the middle all bundled up for a very cold New Year's Eve ride. These two gentlemen let me draft for the entire ride so that I could get my metric century in for the New Year.
What an awesome ride week. Every year since 2001, we have ridden in a New Year's day ride. Several of the cyclists ride a full 100 miles. Others do a mileage that works for them. This year I decided to do my metric century a day early. I hate looking for a babysitter for New Years Day. Anyways, I was able to ride 63 miles on Wednesday. For the week so far I have been able to log 175 miles. If I can get in 25 tomorrow I will have 200 miles. Next week will be the real test. No more vacation time. Back to juggling family, work, and exercise. I would be happy if I could get in a minimum of 100 miles per week, giving me about 400 per month, thus 4800 for the year. Getting the exercise is only a small portion of my goals. I need to focus on the nutrition side. It is way to easy to just eat whatever with no planning.
