I sure hope that you're right.
My wife and I are scheduled for a bicycling vacation starting June 14. We feel like we're under trained and we're having thunderstorms here again today so another weekend looks to be lost. We've done some 30 milers this year, we have all day to complete our 50 mile rides, and the presence of other people on the ride adds to the enjoyment so hopefully we'll run out of miles before it stops being fun.
