Training

I am worried I havn't trained hard or long enough. Tonight I made my usual 5.5 mile loop on my home course. Easy. I am comfortable on the bike and my butt doesn't hurt. I could do that loop all day long. But riding for 30 miles at a time might be a different story. My longest distance is 17 miles which wasn't hard, especially since I was riding with friends. But riding solo it much harder. You watch every 1/10 of a mile tick by on the odometer. I would feel more confident if I can get a loner (20 mile) ride in before we go north. But with the rain and work, ltime is running out.

The Beginning

Please follow along as Bob and I participate in Ride Ataxia III from Portlant to Seattle. I will be posting pictures and comments about our success along the route. We have no idea what to expect except that we will have a fabulous time supporting an old friend and his cause. I think it was Bette Davis who said "fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride". That certainly applies in our case.
