Hello all, it's been some years ago now since I used to keep a training journal for my AIDS rides, so this is a reincarnation of sorts. I'll again try to keep an updated log of my efforts to train for this year's Empire State AIDS ride, while also preventing the journal from being a boring log of where I ride and what I eat! (Actually, I am truly blessed to be able to have enjoyed rides in some gorgeous locales, as well as majoring in good eats too!)
Seriously, it does take a lot of time to plan where to ride, prep to ride, then actually pack the car with all that I need to ride, travel to the ride start, etc, etc. When my younger son was in high school and I'd share with him what my weekend training ride plans were, he quickly ascertained that I'd "pretty much be gone all day"...uh, right! It still takes a significant time commitment, even though both boys are grown men now, as I have to rebuild my strength and endurance each season. I'll fill you in more as I go...
Tailwinds,Mary
