Well, I am 6 weeks from the 2 day Bicycle Blues and Barbeque Festival in Clear Lake Iowa, and 1 week from the Tour of Galena Criterium and i have a lot less miles then i would have liked to have by now. I'm not sure what it is i didn't ride a lot last year and this years been cold rainy and super windy. maybe thats why!! oh well i had a nice ride today rode into Clinton, Iowa and just explored. it was 33.25 miles in 2 hours and 2 minutes. In a cemetery Please don't ask why i was in there in the first place, but i discovered a little loop de loop. no idea how long but has a nice uphill with a flat and fast descent only to climb back to the top. needless to say I took a corner to sharp and lost control and flew over someones grave... ekkkkkkkkkk!!!! atleast i didnt hit a tombstone lol. well i'm made a little plan for the coming weeks. A mini base, build and overload with a taper. Week 1 is 140 miles, week 2-4 is 190 miles and week 5 240 miles and week 6 is 100 miles. i am just going to throw random workouts into the mix during this weeks. i still haven't found a plan i like or a coach that i could afford yet. i'm nervous, and excited at the same time for these coming weeks and sundays criterium.The plan i wrote has me riding once a week over 40 miles. This the long endurance miles im hoping helps with the sprints and the 50 miles road race In Clear Lake. My total miles for the year are at 286.24. Well for this coming week here goes nothing!!!! have a nice night or day depending on when u read this. Thanks
