Where Does All The Time Go?

I completed my 300k qualifier for PBP on 04/01 of this year and then the bad weather and my wife’s surgery took their toll. I probably don’t have 200 miles on the bike since the 300k. I was going to ride in the NJ 200k on 4/14 but this was just a few days after my wife’s operation and she still couldn’t drive or cook so I had to pass. Because of my limited time and the bad weather I was getting in some 20 to 25 mile rides and then augmented this with some Spinerval workouts.

This weekend the weather finally broke and life got out of my way so I was able to get in a 40 mile ride on Saturday. On Sunday house projects and injured relatives all took too much of my time and I never got out. Today it is actually suppose to hit 85 here in Connecticut and the first shop ride is tonight. I will put in 9 miles on my commute and hopefully 20 on the shop ride. With my wife back behind the wheel I should be able to start taking the long routes to and from work and pile up the miles.

I have a hilly 300k this weekend so I will see how the training goes and hope I am ready.
