Eroica training motivation thread!
11 weeks till Eroica!!!
And I need to get some riding in!
We just had a 2 week storm cycle roll through here (10' of new snow in the mountains) AND I had possibly the worst cold I've ever had, but I am well enough to ride again thankfully...
The only riding here is fatbiking on snow, which is fun, but you don't go very far for your efforts, so I prefer to measure my rides by time instead of distance :-P
1.5 hours today, 1 hour yesterday, I am feeling in vaguely sort of ok shape. I'm hoping to pedal 4 days a week till I leave for California, and once this cold if finally gone *completely* I'd love to get 2 hours on the bike a couple times a week...
I have a bit of a hang up about getting 2 hours on the bike as Mark Beaumont (the record holder for riding around the world) said moderate intensity 2 hour rides is how he trains for his big rides, and if it works for him it can't be a bad way to go about it!
