AM: 6.3 miles on the treadmill, averaged 10:55. HR 117.
PM: Thurday Night Dirt - Solstice Ride Edition. 5 hours 45' (92.7 miles @ 16.1 MPH). 142W. HR 124.
It's been steamy outside and we got a downpour not long before the ride. One of the roads I was on was flooded on the way over. Got a ride across from one of the Main Street guys who was headed to the ride. The dirt roads were super puddled in places and a good deal of debris from the winds, but the roads were solid as we headed east. Lots of run in the dark on some rough and wet sections of road later in the ride. The pace was communal, which was fine with me as it is nice to have a very easy roll. Route was around 61 miles, but with riding there and taking a long way home I was just under 100. Originally I planned on a hundred miles, but I got a late start and it was very hot and muggy at the beginning.
This was a long day of training! I didn't get home until 11:30. I made myself a sandwhich, watched part of an interview on Youtube and fought sleep and finally gave up and went upstairs.
