Question today was how would I feel after yesterday's 120 mile bike ride. Answer is OK. In order to get up each day and do 100 miles day after day, your mind set has to always be in the present. Never think of what you will be doing tomorrow while riding today. Never think of tomorrow while hurting today. What happens is that once you are done for the day, recovery begins and by the start tomorrow you are mentally and physically in a positive mood.
Yesterday and today I went right into my swimming pool to soak my legs and lower back. The temperature is at 72 so it feels real cool. During the event I will get into ice baths after each ride. It really takes the sting out of the legs, they feel refreshed in a short time.
That's it for the month of May. I consider June a month just to maintain my condition. I have put in all the work for the past 6 months. I do not need more 100 milers. Will ride to stay fit both physically and mentally. I am now starting to coordinate the event. Looking for people to help drive the support vehicle and some riders to ride with for a day. I will have no more than 3 additional riders per day. I get phobic with a lot of riders.
