Week 39

Before this week, my longest week was just over 230 miles. This week, I decided to go for a week distance record. By Friday evening, I rolled through 200 on the week. The Saturday ride put me way over. I passed the 240 mile mark for the first time. There goes 250 miles. So much for 260. My week ended up just a shade over 270 miles, nearly 40 miles more than my previous best.

On Wednesday, I finished my 6000th mile of the year. Saturday had me descending Edgewood Road pushing for a nice top speed. A third of the way down the hill and I’m already reading 45. Push it a little bit…46, 47, 48, 49

What a great week.
