The current plan is a hard 30 miles tomorrow - keeping the heart rate just below my lactate threshhold, once I warm up. I hate rides like that.

This weekend about a 100 miles, with a goal of keeping the pace I need to finish my next double century before the cutoff.

So, if I actually do what I'm supposed to...I'll finish up July with about 800 miles and more miles for 2006 than 2005.

I need to give my butt a break today. My favorite shorts - yeah the wicked expensive LG ones - are now too big! And I have the chafing to prove it.

I've already ordered the next size down, but I'm afraid they'll be too tight. Fortunately I still have some of the old style Sugois that I think will be okay for the double.
