Finally, an Update
My absence from this site is not indicative of an absence of training. True, there was a brief interlude due to a combination of bad weather, a bout of nausea, and 5 days in San Francisco (which consisted mostly of overeating and trying to walk it off). Since returning from SF though, I’ve spent some great time in the saddle. The principle highlights include a new personal highest speed (58.2 mph …yes it was downhill.), a solid solo ride of 54 miles on a Sunday afternoon, and today’s 64 miler in a group. There’s not much to add except that when it gets warm enough here to ride comfortably, the wind blows ceaselessly and the pollen is so bad that the cause of death will probably be yellow lung. I intend to begin the “running” training next week and see if I can manage it without sustaining an injury.
