Training Log - April 11, 2009

I went for a ride with the group from the local bike shop this weekend. It was the standard 30 mile loop that they normally ride. Here are the numbers:

  • Ride Time: 1:43
  • Distance: 28.6 miles
  • Average Speed: 16.6 mph
  • Max Speed: 26.5

We started out pretty fast, but I was only able to keep up that speed for about 10 miles. Then I started to fade. I think that there were really two reasons that I didn't feel better during the ride. First, I hadn't been on the bike in about 10 days. That isn't usually a good idea for me. Secondly, I fasted on Friday (for Good Friday). Definitely not the best way to prep for a ride.

But, I made the distance, even if the speed wasn't phenomenal. Then I went home a cut the grass. I was tired Saturday afternoon. :)

Till next time....
