Tired

Today I was hoping to do a hard 3.5 hr ride on that same route I did last Saturday. Today would be my 20th day of riding in a row without any days off. I do have a few easy rides sprinkled in, such as Friday, but I've been reading more of Hunter Allen's work and he preaches riding more. Period. SO I've been trying in this off-season to do just that. Here are some pics.

Veteran's Day Ride

Thanks to all our veteran's out there - thanks to them I can ride when I want (within limits of family and work). I work with the guvmint so I had the day off. Too bad I've been pretty tired last couple of days due to training lately so I was limited to a couple of hours or so. Couldn't have had a better day - nice and sunny, probably 55 degrees or so. I'm a summer person but I'll take this.

Fall Training

Been trying to stick to a FTP building plan this fall. 2x20s seem to be working, along with some longer & harder weekend rides. Hopefully the work will pay off next spring.

Nice Fall Day

Did a 75 miler through an area east of West Point, VA along Route 14. The wind was kicking me in the face on the wa to the turnaround point but luckily was at my back for the return leg. That doesn't seem to be the norm - usually seems to be in my face the whole ride. No traffic once I get out on Rt 14 - very nice.
