Another 30 mile ride late afternoon west of Gainesville. Running out of daylight now, so getting tougher to get in those miles after work.

I am planning to ride in the Santa Fe Century Ride (36th annual!), aiming for the 68 mile loop, on Oct. 22nd. I'm really improving my average speed and endurance, and have dropped almost 30 lbs since early July. I could use another three weeks of hard training, but it will be as it is.

This week I'll do close to 300 miles (150 down since Saturday), then take it easy next week. I hope to have a good ride during the event......
