Today’s ride:
Rode with the Dick Davidson today, it was an excellent 62 + mile ride for me and 44 miles for Dick . I started at 5:30 this morning to get in some extra miles and possibly beat the rain that we were supposed to have today. I road about 18 miles before heading to the 436 trail head to meet with Dick Davidson at 7:00 AM. Our other riding partner Jim is off to North Carolina to ride the mountains for a month (lucky him). We did the normal ride to Panera Bread for breakfast and decided to ride through Heathrow and evaluate the weather to determine how far we would go. It was over cast but it didn’t look like rain so we decided to go all the way. It proved to be a good decision as it never rained a drop on us. It was a good ride today, and this is the highest mileage month that I have ever had.
I have reviewed my 2011 goal and reset my figures to 8,000 miles. I might have to re-evaluate that number again in September.
