The Commute and Training

I’ve been commuting by bike to work with the kids. We don’t do it every day but enough to hopefully make a difference….and it wears them out. I got my nifty Brooks Saddle for the commuter and she looks grand!

My training is going well. I’ve conquered Lookout Mountain and am up to 70 miles comfortably. I’ve been taking a day off here and there to ride. Last Weds I was climbing a steep hill at Chatfield and it was a breeze compared to what it has been. I’m taking that as a clue that my muscles are really getting to shape. With all the climbing on the ride it will be essential!
