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!
