I've steadily increased my cycling since I got my bike. First a gentle 4 miles, then 6 miles then 8. Today I cycled just over 16 miles in a fraction over an hour and a quarter. I'm happy with that given 90% of the cycle was in a thunderstorm.
There's method to my madness though. I'm planning to take part in a 100 mile cycle on the Saturday of the Labour Day weekend. That's more than six times what I managed today, and today has left my legs stiff.
I've got a ten week training schedule. This week looks like this:
Day M T W Th F Sa Su
Miles 10 12 14 OFF 12 40 15
I figure if I can pull of forty miles on Saturday, anything is possible.
Wish me luck.
