Since our weather this winter has been so nice I have been able to increase to 75/week and hope to hit that 1000 mile mark before mid July. I also workout with weights six times a week for 45 min per session. As the mileage I need to ride increases, this will require not only a significant increase in the amount of time I spend cycling, but also energy. I am not sure how I need to adjust to not overdue it and wear myself out. I would hate to miss out on the great ride because of injury caused by ignorance.

It appears that the old Kernel won the contest. I had the start town correct and Webster City via Popejoy is just a few corn fields away. I am so excited to win.

One of my concerns has to do with training when you have a cold. Last week I was sidelined from training because of being sick. I was wondering there were any tips on training while you are sick. Obviously there are some cases where it is better to just not train but for simple things like colds should we still hop on our bikes? Whoo-hoo I’m so excited for this year!
