I went out past Sat and hit some new roads with 2 riders. It was hot out there. #8 century for the year is done.
I'll probably go out this Sunday.(Sat have family BBQ so shorter 60 miler in the morning).

#9 for the year is done. I met a rider on top of Perkins training for Leadville 100. He has done it 2 years ago. He did 4 hill repeats on Bear mtn. I managed 2 after coming and going via Harriman park and 7 lakes. Triota climb/descent is best because closed to traffic.

Enjoy the beach. I've been to beach once this summer :cry:
I am training for http://www.hauteroute.org/en/
I am going to drive to Piermont or something tomorrow and do rest of the course with more hill repeats at Bear. I need more elevation under my belt.
My longest ride yet.

:drooling:well,..what a lucky man you are!
i can't even dream about riding there..:drooling:
post pics please if you will!
I'll take some pics when not suffering :cry: or when I fall off the bike from altitude sickness :cry:
Today was the hardest day for me with 4 repeats of Bear and reversing back to Tiorati and welch beach. I think I need a 30 or a 32 cassette in the back. 28 is not cutting it after 2 days of climbing.

Yesterday did my first Century ever on the road. Left my home in Portland PA around 6am with plans (and time allowance) for about 90 miles. Had a course planned but once I hit 90 I had to go for the extra 10. I weaved around the back roads near my house to get the extra miles. Its amazing how much you can see on a single ride, I visited multiple places that I used to frequent as a child. Feeling the ride today in the arms and shoulders. I'm guessing its from all the time I spent in the drops. I'm looking forward to doing a 100 with some friends to see how much faster/easier it will be sharing the workload.

Banged this one out Saturday with Dustin and Mark W. Starting from my house in Lambertville. A little bit of my go-to, post work loop as well as the entire Covered Bridge Tour route and then some. Several extended climbs as well as a million shorter punchy ones. Quiet roads and beautiful scenery.
