What's your typical riding week like?

[Geonz]

Mon: commute, plus maybe the Monday "Moderate" ride, though the definition of "moderate" is, ahem... well, y'all know how that goes.

Tues: commute, and the "pedaling for pleasure" ride is on my way home, so that's another 12-15 miles.

Wednesday: Commute, and there's a show and go at 6:15 that's usuall 20 miles or so.

Thursday: Commute - and maybe, but not usually, the women's ride (it's pretty peppy so I have to have the fast bike and be up for it, and I have to be back home at 8:00).

Friday - commute; usually I go home in a roundabout way.

Commute is 15 miles, unless I broaden the loop.

Saturday: I lead the Saturday Saunter, so my competitive soul whines at me 'cause other people are getting Big Weekend Miles in. Hasn't whined loudly enough to get me out of the door in time to ride extra miles before the ride yet this year :-)

Sunday: 5 miles round trip to church, then sometimes a show and go.

Sonic: if you're going to add a day, I would at an "easy base miles" day. Your schedule is a little on the "type A" side, bordering (not sure on which side of the border) on over-training. If there's an *easy* group ride that's an excellent way to keep the inner drive from taking over.
