Thursday July 9th ride

I got a little carried away and did 49.67 miles. Actually started from my house at the top of Old Grove Road and College instead of the bike path at College. This was a major step and hurdle for me as it throws new challenges like elevation gains that I have not done at my current weight and age. 20 years ago it would have been a challenge. I completed a 50 mile bike ride and the elevation gain at the very end of the ride. Sky is the limit! Let's go kick some MS ass!

Ride schedule changed

I did not end up going for a ride yesterday as planned. Martha had a meeting, so a little rearranging of the schedule here is in order.
Planned ride this evening - goal 30-40 miles and Saturday morning 45-60 miles. This weeks anticipated miles 120 - 145 miles combined with the 45 miles I did earlier in the week. Both rides today and Saturday will be "the bike path" from College to the coast and ride south no further than Del Mar train depot.
For longer rides, I'll push futher to the top of Torrey Pines and then to La Jolla and back, but for now these rides are what I am to expect as far as elevation changes on the MS ride.
If there are any riders in North County that follow here that would like to join me in a ride, please let me know.
