April Preparations for RAAM

I’m done with miles for April, especially after that last trainer ride.  The sweat was pouring off of me and the puddle under the bike was growing large. It was a hard, fast ride on Zift, a cycling route using inputs from a power meter to simulate actual terrain and compete with other live riders.  Check it out at zwift.com.

Drumroll please.

April miles = 1,017!

I rode 27 out of the 30 days in April, and had 12 days with multiple rides.  My rides are getting faster.  This morning, for instance, I put in my best times for 2015 on several of our regular morning ride Strava segments.

I’m slowly dropping some weight.  The multiple rides a day seem to do the most for that.

Our crew roster is full.

Our local monthly newspaper will print an article in June.  (I missed the May deadline.)

We are in California in 7 weeks.
