Week #12 - 570 miles
Got my last big ride in for IWAR on Saturday. Started the ride at 2am and the temperature wasn't too bad to start with. Once I got out of town, it began to drop. Probably around 50 miles into the ride it was down to about 16F, but luckily there wasn't any wind. Still cold until the sun came up, but made for some slow going. Met up with a group around 109 miles in. Nice to have some company for part of the ride, even though it was only 40ish miles. The last 55ish miles the wind was a little stronger and I was trying to get a few more hills in. I was hoping to go a little faster but getting in 14 hours of ride time was good. Also happy how it went considering that I rode 101 miles on Wednesday.
This week I also rolled over 5000 miles (5115 mi) for 2022. That is 763 miles ahead of 2020, so I have that going for me. Also surpassed 125K (125,199 mi) for all-time miles on Strava. Once again I really don't have any mileage goals for the year. Whenever it has been nice I try to get quite a few miles in. This next month I will have to rest a bit to get ready for IWAR. The race is so hard and so many things can go wrong during it. I know that I am prepared but need everything to come together on raceday.
