Century Training With Busy Schedule

[mtbdarby]

Dar and all,

If I don't revisit this thread when I get back from ALC would y'all remind me or kick me or sumthin? I hear you.

We all have such busy lives. Makes it hard to keep that schedule.

I don't think there are any shortcuts for basic fitness and base miles but I might have a few tips for the busy athlete.

If I have a good ride again this year I'll gather my thoughts and list them, if I'm miserable and bonk I'll say "follow those charts or stay home."

Trek - I'll hold you to it (if I don't forget )

LBTC - because of all that's going on, I have had to rearrange my goals and postphone pretty much all of my cycling related ones. I really just want to complete one,and this one is it.

I did 3 days of GRABAAR last year (52, 58 and 64 mile days) after being off the bike for one month due to an inury, so I don't think working up to a century this year is out of the question. Yes, it will depend on how things in my life pan out in the next couple of months, but I'd like to see if it's possible and if I have the energy. I have picked out two different centuries, one is August 26th and the other is Sept 9th. So if I'm not ready in time I can do the later one. Both rides are supported and SJCzar will most likely be riding with me.

So I'll keep you posted!
