The Training Log

To Train or Not To Train?  That is the question.

I don't think that I want to spend the first week in misery, so, I guess I'll do a little riding before setting off on this journey.  My location lends itself to some pretty good terrain.  Lots of hills and altitude to get the heart racing, lungs burning and legs pumping...

    Hope you are lit up in neon outerwear for this road trip Doug. Drivers are idiots.

      Thanks for your concern Miz Em! Yes, I have several jersey's and jackets in florescent lime green. Ironically, the Ortlieb bags have black panels on the front and back, it would seem more prudent to make those florescent orange wouldn't it? I also have very bright front and rear flashing lights.
