Rode a metric century (1ooKM/62miles) with the lady friend on Saturday. It was windy. We took the Gateway Trail from beginning to end. It was about 11 miles from my house to the start of the trail and those were the worst miles. Heading down Como Ave we went straight into 15 MPH winds.

I needed to ramp up my miles in preparation for the MS 150 on June 6th. I know I’ll be able to do it but I want to be ready. 75 miles a day isn’t something I can do without a bit of prep. But knowing that weekend warrior roadies who only ride 6 months a year can do it, makes me feel better.

I’ll be riding with Team 1FS (One Fucking Speed). All of us will be riding fixed gears or single speeds. The team is in its second year and from all accounts, passing a roadie in full kit on a fixed gear really pisses them off. Can’t wait!
