My main goal is to do all the local rides I can get to. This is my first season on a bike since the 1980s, and I'm up to around 800 miles so far.
My best ride so far was on Tuesday of this week, when I went on a 27-mile paceline training ride with a local group. We averaged 22.4 mph and my top speed on the flats was 34 mph. I was happy with that! The longest ride so far was 58 miles on Fathers Day, and I was tired after that one.
My goal for August is to cycle around Lake Tahoe (approx 74 miles). I'm not going for speed on that ride - I want to take my time and enjoy the scenery. I reserved a Trek Madone rental bike and I'm really looking forward to it.
