I have been putting in the long miles the past month or so, planning on a full century ride at Sebring this year on the Labor Day weekend. So, last Saturday I wanted to do about a 70 mile training ride. Was out of bed around 5am, and on the bike at 5:45 in the dark. Got back around 10:30 or so, before the worst of the days heat set in. The way the temps have been, that's all you can do. I'm planning to ride 80 miles on Friday this week, and will be doing it the same way. On the bike in the dark, and headed down 78 towards Moore Haven with lights blazing.
