This 31 miler(click on the title of this blog) was intended to be a supplemental midweek ride to see how I recovered from Sundays ride on short notice to my body and to see how it would fit in to my already busy schedule. All around, it was a great ride. I actually felt like Superman on the hills today. Not sure if that was just because it was a short ride or that I'm actually getting stronger on the hills. I'm going to have to continue to throw in midweek rides because there just isn't enough time to get the miles in that I feel is necessary to make the MS ride a successful one. I'm almost there, but the weekend before the ride is already going to be a non-training weekend because of pre-planned events.
UPDATE: As of yesterday, I'm have joined and will be riding with one of the largest organized bike groups on the West Coast. I joined Team24 Pacific; the 24 Hour Fitness riding group. This is a group that has a $100,000 commitment goal to help fight Multiple Sclerosis this year. Hopefully I can meet up with a group this weekend to see what their riding styles are. I'm hopeful it will be a challenge for me and will not slow my current riding style down.
Here's my new page so that YOU can help my team, Team24 win the battle over MS: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/mikeflanagan
