Seems i puthe last post in the wrong place..ooops.
well, i started riding about 2 months ago, and am hooked, almost exclusively road miles, my mountain bike is very lonely, but here is the dilema. I like to ride every day, but when i got 40 or 50 miles a day after 4 or 5 days i really seem to struggle to keep good tempo and my times slow bad. I f i go really long every 3 days i feel great and just zip along. So should i go maybe every other day, or drop the milage if i go every day. Just bought a new Trek so I'm way pumed about that. If it helps i usually do 50 miles in around 3-3.5 hours. Thx in advance.
