A year ago I started to ride again after about 30 years of not riding. Last year my daughter in law and I rode about 10 miles three different times and then decided to do a 60 mile ride, just for fun. We made it and I have been hooked. My friend asked me to do the DALMAC ride this year.. I am 59 and must be crazy because I am doing it. I have been doing 20 miles a day 5 days a week with our friends son who is 27. If he is not around I do about 10 from my house. I hate riding alone. But he will be going on a vacation for a weeks so guess I will buck up and get riding longer alone. Unfortunately everyone else I know can only do about 10 miles or less. But then again that is ok it gets others moving and living healthier Today my friend and I did 37 miles,I couldn't do anymore. 90 degrees and so humid it was hard to breath. any suggestions on that kind of ride?
In trying to train for this ride there is soooooo much I do not know. Like about Chafing....ouch! proper bike fit and saddles. I am so glad I found this web site...
