Week #12 Solid block of training

Week #12 - 552 miles

The weather still isn't cooperating very much. It has been cold and windy for too long. I usually have been able to get in a 200ish mile training ride by now in preparing for IWAR, but that hasn't happened yet. It was good to get in a 600 mile block of 7 days. This and the 658 mile week I had in Arkansas are good to have in the legs. Excited to get the new Cantu wheels with the Dynamo hub set up on the Seigla. Hopefully the new light will work well and able to charge things on the go.

 

Week #11 Rolled over 74K in the ride streak

 

Week #11 - 467 miles

I managed to get over 74K miles in the last 1179 days. I would be really be happy to get to 100K miles for the ride streak, but I will be satisfied to just keep it going as long as I can. Hopefully the next couple of weeks will warm up a bit so I can get some big miles in as preparation for IWAR. I am debating to either do a 200+ mile long ride or just have a really big week leading up to the event. the weather will probably decide how it does.

Week #10 Rolled over 150,000 miles

Week #10 - 403 miles

Managed to get over 150,000 Strava miles on today's ride. I didn't think on December 21, 2014 that I would get to this point. Almost half of the miles have come during the current ride streak that started on December 27, 2019 (73,541 miles). There have been lots of adventures, mostly good, along the way. I hope that things will continue and there will be many more. This year is going to be big with the bikepacking adventures planned. 

 

Week #9 It's trying to be spring, just not very well

 

Week #8 - 340 miles

Went back to the Sandhills for the weekend and they still have a bunch of snow. Luckily we have most of our snow around Lincoln gone now but it looks like we will have another little system coming through this week. the roads and trails have dried out so if we do get some moisture they should be able to handle it well. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can get back into some higher mileage. I need to get in a 200+ mile ride this month to prepare for IWAR. I would also like to have a 4 day period of 100+ mile days.
