Just curious. Besides riding, What other types of workouts do you do?
I ride 200-250 miles a week.
I do weight training 4-5 times a week.
To help with my stamina my gym has virtual classes which consistes of Rev Series. Basiacally Spin Classes.
Just looking for a variety of new ideas.

“Hi Gary,
We just recently started shipping participant packages. We continue to ship the packets through June and into July before the ride.”
The rest isn’t important. It’s from Mariah – RAGBRAI Office Specialist.
Pretty cool that she sent an email just by reading my forum ?. Great follow up.

Ive been riding in the heat here in St. Louis. I pushed myself too hard one day and it hurt. The next day it was hotter and i didn’t push as hard and was fine. I usually do 40 – 50 miles a day.
