evan9381 Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Im going to do my final TOSRV training ride this Sat. AM if anyone wants to come with Its 75percent trail, and the wind on Sat will be ease in AM and to our backs in the afternoon. this isnt about speed, its about distance, overall endurance and completion I traditionally ride the 1st 1/3 or 1/2 slow and save the power for the ride home . http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=US-42+S%2FN+London-Delaware+Rd&daddr=yellow+springs&hl=en&geocode=FV6sYQIdoskH-w%3BFfFlXwId5vz_-imZU5T2SV8_iDEgp1MC-2siuQ&mra=mift&mrsp=0&sz=13&dirflg=b&sll=39.952254,-83.33662&sspn=0.073165,0.154324&ie=UTF8&lci=bike&ll=39.798513,-83.540039&spn=0.141911,0.338173&z=12 Distance??

I'll be getting out early 7am early and have to be on my way home by 3pm whew...idk if ive trained enough for a ride like that this year. my longest rides are a few between 29-33 miles, and a bunch of 10-20s. longest i did last year was a 58 miler 3x. gonna have to pass...although ill probably still be out for a shorter ride. maybe go for 40 or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 The farthest I've done so far is just over 40 this year. 1 week away from tosrv its time to put up or shut up. If you can do this ride, you can knock out 105 x2 next week no questions asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 wish i could've convinced myself to get out, but i decided to finally stop neglecting my yard and mow it for the first time. spent a couple hours on that then got out for 22 miles. my calves are STILL cramping up. been killing the water trying to get it to stop. glad i didnt try to do a ride 3x+ longer than what i did. wind was a little wild today in westerville. seemed like it didnt matter which direction i was going, i had head wind 21.78 miles, 1:19:xx http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/33045234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Got 31 miles in yesterday and did another 23 today. I figure if I can do 25 Ill be alright on 50 with the lunch break in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Well I made it through the Half tour. The wind the first day was pretty bad and really beat me. I limped in to Portsmouth. Today was pretty calm but still no sun by the time I got back into Chillicothe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 A new Trek. I am not sure how much road riding I'd want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1cutlass Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 So you are looking at a 1.2? If so it is a great starter bike with some decent components that will serve you well. No complaints from any of them that I have sold which is quite a few, it is a very popular bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
