So a little over a year ago I was overjoyed that I managed to ride 4.74 miles in 18 minutes for an average speed of 15.2 mph.
Today, I rode 50.3 miles in 3 hours and 10 minutes, for an average speed of 15.8 mph. And still, I'm afraid it's not enough. In two weeks I think I'm doing a very hilly 60 some odd miles at Summit to Surf X. The week after that I'm doing a metric century at the Blackberry Bramble, and then two weeks after that I'll be trying an honest to goodness century at the Vine Ride. I've been slacking in my training rides, and now I'm a little worried. Today's 50 was relatively reassuring though, I really didn't have any trouble except for maybe the last 5 miles, and 15.8 mph is faster than we'll probably ride the century, so....here's hoping!
