Who wants to train for some serious rides???

Ever think to yourself… I think I could do that? Sure it’d be hard, maybe harder than anything I’ve done in the last couple weeks, but I should be able to survive. Well that is how my thought process went when planning this ride.
I drafted Dave (a really strong guy from [...]

Saturday, I talked my wife into doing an afternoon ride. She did very well and rode 50 miles in some pretty serious heat (in the 90’s) out south of town. I’m just stoked that Sarah did it and survived and was happy and didn’t get mad at me�. Top speed was somewhere [...]
