I rode the trainer this morning. Does that count?

Gosh, I would say I was in but there's no way I'm up for a 5 hour training ride! Will a 2-hour ride be good enough to count me in? I'm a light-weight.

Well, I did 3.5 hours today... 58 miles... 16.5 mph average... on the trainer!

I just finished Tough Love - 3 hours, plus warmup and cooldown. Ouch. I'm supposed to do a really long ride tomorrow. It rained and snowed all day today, and won't get above freezing tomorrow, so I'm not sure how safe it will be to ride outside. Grrr.
Looks like I'll have another long day on the trainer.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Pedal Wench you crack me up...I love your signature...may I use that every time I get a hot flash...
.
I have a tip for those of you that are spending so much time in the saddle. I use mens bib pants. I know but I like the longer leg length and they fit really well. The padding is obviously in a slightly different place, but I felt great after 2 hours plus. Better than I have ever felt with my Sugoi 7 panels. And I have a guys seat on my Guru to boot. Getting a new ladies this spring. Just thought the tip might be useful...happy riding everyone.Have a bad day...cycle. Have a good day...cycle.
