"Health & Wellness"

I signed up for that this year, but I don't think I'm going to make it. My longer rides right now are 50ish and there is zero chance I could call that the half way point. Maybe next year.

My long rides lately are in the 50-60 mile range, which is why I'm only doing the metric century (100km) this year. I rode a century during BAK, but I kinda limped in after the 70 mile mark, so I'm not up for the full 100 miles in Wichita Falls. Just not enough base miles.

128 miles last week. Two weeks left until Hotter-N-Hell and now I'll cut back on both mileage and intensity, hoping to arrive in Wichita Falls with fresh legs.

This week I'll have 110 miles.

Good going! I'm just over 3600 for the year. I've been averaging around 100 miles a week most of the season and hope to continue doing so as the weather gets cooler and the days get shorter.

I really have too much going on.
I've only been getting between 30 and 50 miles/week for last few weeks.
but I have started running 3-6 miles/week.
just not much time right now.

41 miles yesterday puts me over 4000 for the year. Cooler weather makes riding in the velomobile much more comfortable. It was 43 degrees this morning, and I left wearing a t-shirt and shorts. It was chilly in the beginning, but I warmed up quickly and was quite comfortable for the balance of the ride.

Did you do Wichita falls? How was it?

I did finish the 100k route. I had a lousy ride based mainly on poor preparation and poor planning on my part. I had leg cramps after the first 21-22 miles and struggled over the next 10-15 miles of chip-n-seal heaven that are so much fun (heavy sarcasm) in a velomobile. I did ride better on the smoother roads over the last 25 miles or so, but overall it wasn't very enjoyable (maybe I'm jaded after 21 years of doing Hotter-N-Hell, but I doubt I'll go back again).
