Saturday's ride was tough - 80 miles but the week of riding hills to and from the office four times took its toll on the legs. I earned new respect for professional cyclists today. They ride in these multi-day stage races for hundreds of miles. The body takes a beating. Granted, they have a massive support staff an put in the serious training miles as part of a grand training program but their bodies still take a beating and they keep riding through it all. I learned more today about riding through it. All told this week 150+ miles - another new weekly mark for this year. This next week is a bit toned down due to the Flying Wheels Century on Saturday. Even though the STP prep shows 210 is the target, I will not be hitting this mark. I am shooting for 140 and calling it good.
Stay safe and keep on riding just not in Mexico!
