a log of rides and opinions as I transform from sedentary office worker to a rider fit enough for an epic ride, Colorado's Triple Bypass: 3 mountain passes, 120 miles, 10,000 feet of elevation gain, in one day.

Mid July half century.
This year's ride is a Santa Fe Century, thankfully in early October.
The benchmark is a half Century in mid July, and I achieved it yesterday to go along with 60 miles on the Triple in 2011, and half of the SF Century in 2015. At this rate I may only complete another three. Time to ride every year instead of putting them off!
Dehydration folly
Drink.
Not Alcohol, and not just water, but electrolytes.
I thought I was over training on the new Kickr, in summers 19 and 20, but I was fooled by the A/C and didnt drink enough. Drinking and doing much better this year.
Also note August 2020 when riding stopped for three weeks to recover from a back strain carrying a heavy ladder.
