Thanks. The training I've done has not been very structured. I commute on my fixie 32 miles a day 3 or 4 days a week and do the occaisional long weekend ride. The only big fixed rides I've done this year prior to this were a few 60 milers and a 92 mile ride last weekend. On the way up to Seattle was tough because I was riding alone. I just put my head down and watched the rain drip off the bill of my cap for a lot of hours, stopping along the way for the occaisional corndog and pepperoni stick.
