Week #19 - 468 miles
Week #20 - 442 miles
The last couple of weeks I have been trying to prepare for the Flint Hills Ultra. I think I have my bike set up now after lots of changes. Mostly coming home after a long ride and taking something off. My goal is to ride as long as possible before I have to stop. Hopefully I will only need to sleep a couple hours at a time before I get back on the road again. Since this is twice as far as I have ever gone, I am not sure how my body will react. I know that I have put in the miles even though I have done lots of really long rides this year but I am up on total miles over last year and one more 100+ ride. Each time I do one of these long adventures I learn something new and hopefully I will be able to apply that to this ride. The biggest thing is going to be able to listen to my body and sleep when I really need it. By not trying to push through, I hope to be able to ride a little faster overall. The other big thing is limit my stop time. Making the stops efficient should save me huge time over the few days.
As far as bikes go, I managed to get True Grit #3 over 20K this week. That bring me up to over 63K miles on the Laufs since the fall of 2018.
