Many Miles Of Riding....

Mt. Pleasant Main Street


What an awesome ride! Started from Ephraim and rode along the backroads of Spring City, Mt. Pleasant, and Fairview, then back to Ephraim. It was a beautiful day last Friday afternoon after work with a temperature of 70-75 degrees and I decided to go for a loooooong ride on the road. The last 5 miles back home was brutal because my legs felt like stone on the feet. I got home and my cyclometer said 48.3 miles and rode 3 hours and six minutes. I was dead tired. There was a few climbs along the way and I tried to keep my heart rate below 150 beats per minute so I can ride a long ways. This ride was the last of my base training in early spring and this week I start training hard, I will start mountain biking in the foothills and have 4 times as much fun! Here's a few pictures of the historic ride.

Thanks, now I can do Lotoja. I just need to work on the climbing part now. My Lotoja leg is 45 miles but with harder climbs than I did last Friday.

Sprints tomorrow, climbs on Black Hill Wed., little endurance ride on Thursday, then a weekend of climbing on Green Valley Race Course Sat. or Sun. It's time to have fun!
