Miles to ponder

I knew I'd been building a good fitness base, but I had no idea of the actual #'s. Some of the guys I had been riding with were talking about miles ridden so far this year and got me wondering. So here's the damage: through this week, ending with the 10/11 ride, I had suffered through 6,983.5 miles. All on a mountain bike. The last couple weeks have contributed largely to that total, having put in a 86 mile ride and a 91 mile ride in back to back weeks( the weekly totals were in the 260-270 range). Believe me, as I write this the legs are feeling it.

I'll back off a bit, have a 100k down in Mexico in a couple weeks that should be interesting. The promoters are advertising Michael Rasmussen (former Rabobank rider and tour leader) will be there. Suspected doper or not, it will be cool to line up with him.

There will be a lot of pain to be endured by all I'm sure.

First piojo! I am not being an asshole! I was just wondering, second, maybe if you did green highlight? It's one of my favorite colors and have thought how I would mix it up with my blog also. I used it several years ago.
