Sunday Century?  Sun. March 23
Mar 19th, 2008, 6:38pm
 
Anyone up for trying to put together a 80-100 mile ride this weekend?  I'd love a chance to see if I can make it that far so I'll know wether to attempt the 200k next week.

Depending on if I get my chores done and the minimum or average speed of this 80-100 miles I'd might be up for it. I plan on doing the aledo 100 if the hills don't kill me.

I'm not capable of averaging more than about 15 at this point.  For 40 miles I can do about 17.5 but that wipes me out, and I'm not sure I can even complete the century, but I'd sure like to try.

Ok that I can probably do without my commuting bag/junk. If the ankle I just twisted bounces back. $#*)( gravel sidewalk.

I no longer have a operational car thanks to a blue buick on 407. Shoulders a little stiff and my neck hurts so I'm going in for a check tommorow somehow.
I knew I shoulda taken the xtracycle but I wanted to give my ankle a little more time to heal from twisting it  cry
My weekend might be homebound. Sad
