Training

Tonight I did my first ride of what I hope will be a six week training regiment for riding a century (100 miles). Today was the Speed ride for 1.25 hours. I had to keep making my loop bigger to get all the time in. The wind was relatively calm but I could feel it when heading east. I ended up riding 27.8 miles in just under the time for an average of 19.1 mph. I felt surprisingly strong and attribute that to well timed eating. It wasn't crazy hot- in the mid to upper 80's, I think. Good Start.
