Guess who's back!

[Technotart]

Congrats on Nursing school! Been there done that - and lemme tell ya there really is life after nursing school - and then there is always grad school too - yup - I was dumb enough to go BACK!

What kind of schedule are you going to be working? If you will be working 3 12's a week, training for that 100 miler should be no problem. The first week - see how you do without killing yourself - ride a leisurely pace 3 to 4 times a week. Then just set a goal for yourself to increase your miles by 10 each week - 10 weeks will have you at 100 miles or more!


I have had about 9 weeks to train for the MS 150 - and that is what I have done - my goal by next week was to be riding 100 miles a week - This is my 100 mile week and Im doing 50 tomorrow!

And I started from NOWHERE and WAY out shape on a bike I didnt even have yet!

I wanna ride the 100 at the hotter n hell too!!!!!

Kim, I'm thinking about doing the Hotter-N-Hell but we'll just have to see as it gets closer. My first ride of this year was in April and only 81 miles under my belt so far. I will be signing up for the Roadkill Rally and hope to do the 60 miles. It will be my longest ride ever! I plan to ride as much as I can this month so I'll be ready.

Hey everyone!

To Technotart: sounds like a sane schedule. In the past everytime we rode it was at least 25 miles. Adding ten a week will be a treat.

tatormc: the HHH is great. Only, when we did it, last year...well...it was downright cool and cloudy! I feel like we really didn't do a HHH. We only started biking in June so I bet you could at least do the 50 if not the 100K. It was so much fun. The hills are minimal, at least to us, and the rest stops are fantastic. You are never alone on the road, sag wagons pass regularly. What have you got to lose?

Hey CorsairMac, for the record I think the Corsair is the coolest plane ever! Don't tell my PaPa, who flew the B-51! Well, honestly the P-38 Lightning would give the Corsair a run for it's money!
