Doesn't sound like allot considering it's not unusual to clock up close to 150 km in one ride, but this distance is actually quite tough to get under the belt in one day during the week when you work full time and for yourself.
This morning I joined the 'North Road' ride which takes the bunch out to Mordialloc then back into town. 60km ride from my place and it means getting out of bed at 5.10am to ensure that I'm part of the bunch which leaves at 6am. It's a quick bunch and to tell you the truth, I find it tough to hang on. At any one stage (depending on if we have a tail wind or not) you may find yourself sitting in the bunch cruising at 65 km/h!!
Tonight I'll join in again on the hills ride through the suburbs which is 40km long. This is a tough ride as it's quick, hilly and my legs will be a little fatigued from this morning. Nothing a little Powerade won't fix though.
Overall, I'm feeling pretty good on the bike. I'm feeling fit and I think I've lost some weight which is making any hill climb a little easier. With the long weekend coming up this weekend, I'm hopeful of putting in some long rides with the expectation of easing up and resting the legs next week.
