I am really glad to be at the end of another workweek. Next week we take the camper off to Tennessee for 4 days. That will be fun. I am ready for it. One of those days will be spent on a 70 mile bike tour. Mike said he was coming down to ride that day. He also says that the terrain will make it difficult. Better still Bev and I will take David to some good places for hiking, camping, roasting marshmellows, and swimming. Then we will be back home for another working week.
My cycling is missing some training. I am riding the same way all the time. I need to vary the kind of pedaling I do. I need to spend some days pushing a big gear so I can gain hill climbing strength. Other days I need to go out and attack some hills. Either way I need to make those hill climbing gains.
I have loads of endurance now. I have ridden 4 centuries and 2 metric centuries this year. I can make a 40 mile ride easily now. I am missing my hiking. I want to get up to Kentucky and do a little with Kirk and Cindy.
