Although the unseasonably warm Spring allowed Susan and I to get out on our bikes as early as March this year, the official training schedule didn’t begin until this week.  Since many of you are supporting us in our  quest to ride from Wellesley to P-Town in the name of cancer research, I have decided to keep you all in the loop of our training shedule.  This is how Susan has set up our long ride schedules so we will be ready in August.  I trust Susan–she got me in shape last year and I have full confidence that she will do it again.  Some of the back to back rides–like on July 5th–look a little daunting but hopefully we can pull it off.  The weather conditions have to be right and we have to have enough time.  It takes us all day to ride 90 miles.

This week we met our goal, riding 31 chilly, windy miles on Tuesday.  We pedaled into the wind up Haverill Street to Marblehead Rd. in North Reading tackling for the first time this year one of our most dreaded hills.  It was a good feeling to get it done knowing that in a few weeks this hill will seem easy.  On our way through Harold Parker Forest we discovered a new Alpaca Farm that was only established last August and realized that we hadn’t ridden this way since doing the PMC last year.

We got out again on Thursday for a 34 mile ride into Middleton.  So as of our first official week of training, Susan and I are right on schedule.  We will keep you posted as our training continues throughout the Summer.
