We made it to the finish line, but only rode 80% of the route on our own power. I’m going to try again soon.
I posted more details here:
Just 1 mile shy, had I known I would have rode around the ‘hood just to get up to 300.
I tried following the training plan, but geez that thing is intense! I don’t have time to put in 170+ miles per week.
I did a 65 miler on Sunday and afterwards I felt like ‘blah’ but not exactly ready to puke and/or die.
How much training did other people do? How should I know if I’m ready?
Thanks!
