Back to Back

May 21, 2010,

I had my first back to back long rides. Yesterday I did 110 miles and today I did 90 miles. Yesterday was inland with some hills and flats. Today I rode on the shore to the Hook and it was all flat. I struggled today for some reason. First 25 miles were OK but then my back started hurting on and off. I hung in there and after I while I was able to ride comfortably. It was tough today because I ran short of water, did not have anything to eat before I rode and was really not to motivated for some reason. But in the end I completed the first two long rides back to back. Tomorrow I am riding with my Bruce, a good rider. I will meet him at his home, 20 miles round trip from my home, and ride about 40 miles. So that means I will ride a minimum of 60 miles. If I survive the ride with him OK, I might continue and try and do about 5 hours. Will shall see.

Crunches: 350
Push ups: 50

Total Distance: 90 miles
Total Time: 6 hours
