I had the best ride ever today. A friend gave this 100 mile course that I picked up about 4 miles from my home. The weather was beautiful. The course was marked the whole way so I did not have to think where to go. From mile 30 to 85 a hardly saw a car. I was in farm country deep into western central Jersey.Even had some rolling hills which mixed up the ride. I could have been in Iowa for all I new. I had no clue for about 30 miles where I was. It was sunny in the 70s, a light wind and a most enjoyable ride. This will be my core route when I head inland during my "Tour". When I was done I know I could have gone another 20 to 30 miles on the flats on the shore. Tomorrow I will do between 80 and 100 miles just to see how I react after the long ride. I am excited!!!
Crunches: 300
Push ups: 50
Total Distance: 110 miles
Total Time: 7 hours and 13 minutes

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".
