Training Day 13: Peppersauce Campground
Distance: 55 miles. Average: 10.7mph So it is entirely possible to bike to Peppersauce Campground! And so here I am, sitting watching something like 15 hawks zig-zag across the sky. I tried getting them to come over here by offering chili, they’re not fans.

Glovetans are sexy.
I’m just chilling out at catalina state park and thought I better show off my awesome tan. Notice on my supercool glovetan I have a little dot where the hole in the glove is.

Training Day 12: I have the dorkiest tan.
Total Distance: 55 miles. Average: 12.5mph Boy is my tan looking freaking AWESOME. I know that with the 80s back its just a matter of time before two-tones take hold. And I’m two-toning it, no doubt. I’m going to have to take some pics of my awesome glove tan and lines on my legs. Finally…

Training Day 10: Days of Rest
While I may have a ‘day’ of rest between cycling, ‘days’ of rest after tomorrow will be a thing of the past. I’m going to try to keep to a schedule of 3 days of biking, and 1 day of rest until the 24th. I’m in San Diego with Paola until tomorrow. I am being…

Training Day 8: Getting all butt hurt.

Training Day 6: Back home.
Total Distance: 58 miles. Average Speed: 13.1mph. Today was a more relaxing day, as I’m able to take a shower and relax at my house. The glovetan is extremely noticeable now. 😛 I feel a bit burnt today even though I put less block on than yesterday[man, I must have been tired. -ch]. Plus the…

Training Day 5: Off to Madera Canyon
Total Distance: 55 miles. Average speed: 9.8mph. This is the first really exhausing day. After 3 days of warming up, today was the first real day of training because I am now in Madera Canyon. You would think a canyon would be downhill, but no, I had to climb a couple thousand feet to get…

Training day 4
Today was a rest day. While I don’t feel too tired it’s good to relax for a bit. I did about 120 miles in the past three days to ramp up. I also had a bike fit done last Thursday, feeling a bit sore from the new posture. Overall I think the new posture will…
