Week #34 Some good, Some bad

 Week #34 - 520 miles

This was my 7th week of 500+ miles for 2020 and yes my legs are a bit tired. I was able to mix things up a bit this week with some more time at the new Van Dorn Mnt. Bike trail. I rode the fatty for about 25 miles on Wednesday and that was a workout and a half. I think my legs are still feeling it! I also bought a mountain bike (Kona Unit X) and hopefully it will be ready on Tuesday. Looking forward to mixing things up even more the remaining of the year. The ultimate goal is to do some bikepacking on it - hopefully in Colorado next year. I would really like to do the Colorado Trail, just need to find someone to join. Saturday was supposed to be a big day of 180ish miles. I felt a bit sluggish from the start and then when I met up with everyone who was doing the GW course. At first I thought things were going ok but the pace was fairly quick for my tired legs. Once I got to around 100 miles in for the day, the wheels fell off. I decided to bail and ride to Denton and refuel. After getting some cold liquids and food in me, I felt ok. Made the decision just to ride home and glad I did. I was a bit beat up from the ride and went to bed early. Today I needed 80 miles to get to my goal of 500 miles for the week. Told myself once I got to 40 miles I would decide if I wanted to go for my 47th 100+ day. Legs were feeling good and glad I did. Met up with Josh (glad he is back on the bike) and rode the last few miles with him. I think I will try to do a big day on next Saturday. Looking to get at least 24 hours in. The goal is 4 times to Beatrice and back. This gives me a chance to come back to the house to refuel and let Roxanne out. We will see how that goes.
