    3 BIG rides 9 days apart.... possible?

    soooo this weekend i have to do breathless agony.. a 112 mile ride that climbs 12000 feet... i say i have to do it.. cuz hubby was supposed to do it.. he is all paid.. but he hurt his knee a couple months back and it's not getting better so rather than lose the money (no refunds)... i will do the ride (or as much of it as i can with all the climbing!

    then next saturday is another century that i wanted to do since it's close to home... but i also wanted to do the 56 miles climbing ride in julian...

    my first question... before i even think about pre-registering... will i be recovered by saturday to do the other century?

    the only 2 centuries i've done... i've felt fine.. rode the next day.. but not hard or long... but rode the following week and weekend..

    which brings me to my next question... if i do the century next saturday.. should i even consider a long climbing ride the next day? or is that too much?

    for some background... i try to ride 6 days a week in nice weather.. i've logged 5,000 miles in the 10 months i've been riding... i do longer rides on weekends..

    so any input.. or is it impossible to give that kind of advice/recommendations based on what i;ve given you!

    (i wish they wouldn't have all the rides all lumped together like this! )
