I decided to do the Coffee Ride this morning, something I have wanted to do for several years but just haven't made it for one reason or another. I showed up just before 9, circled the parking lot, saw no one, so I struck out on my own headed to the roads on the Thursday Night Dirt route and east of there, which I haven't been on this year. Last year I ventured about as far east as I have been. Weather was around 60 or so, but felt cooler around 8:15 or so, but warmed up. Fueling was solid with 2 big bottles and a regular one and two heavy gels of 50-60 grams of carbs each. Enjoyed the ride throughout. 

Just shy of 20 hours of total training time this week, probably my highest since last sumer. I have modifed my training schedule slightly so I am off the bike on Tuesdays to try to fit a bit more running in as I have 8 weeks to Beach to Beacon and I think I need a slightly mileage bump. Not a lot, but I need to be solidly 50-55 miles most weeks and hopefully 60 or above for a few weeks. I am hoping higher mileage couple with some faster workouts will help me make some fitness gains. Bike stuff is coming along okay, but I will have a better sense with my first race of the season next weekend.
