October 8 & 9, 2009
Yesterday I went to bike during lunch. The wind just does not seem to die down this fall. It was still at about 10 to 15 miles an hour. Hard ride out. Kept it to a short ride doing only 17 miles. Quads are tight. With the leg lifting to strengthen the quads and all the riding into the wind, which is similar to hill workouts, I am definitely sore.
Today I got up and did an early ride. Rode into the wind and had an easy ride home. Did 25 miles. Looking forward to doing at least one real long ride over the weekend. Maybe will achieve the 100 miles I need for my confidence.

About Me
- Phil Benson
- I am 64 years old and have been a visionary my whole life. I saw Frank Shorter win the Olympics in 1972, and I said I want to run a marathon. Since then I have run 50. I watched the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii on TV and I said I want to do that. 3 years later I finished the Iron man in Hawaii. I was 45 at the time. I watched all of the Tour de France this year,2009,and I said I want to do that. Unable to compete in the Tour, I will do the same miles they do on the same days in July. Can I do it? The saying goes "Man can achieve what the mind can conceive".
