Got up real early in order to beat the rain. Today's schedule called for an easy ride. On the road by 6:15 am. Still windy but was able to enjoy a quick easy bike ride. Rode 20 miles in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Seems like I have found a schedule that will work. I am going to try and ride 5 days a week. Take Monday as an off day and run. Tuesday a 40 plus mileage day. Wednesday an easy day between 20 -25 miles. Thursday another off day to run and then Friday, Saturday and Sunday use to do my long rides at least 2 of the 3 days. Obviously I will watch the weather and be flexible but it seems like a plan that can allow me to build up the mileage over the next 6 to 8 weeks before I come indoors on the trainer.
In order to strengthen my back and core muscles I am going to spend 3 days a week really working on them. I believe that is the key for me to stay on the bike for a long time. I am also getting a massage every other week to keep my muscles loose. Actually off to get a massage right now.
