My goal for 2018 is to bike, in one ride, 50 miles. That seems like a lot, it does. This is a ride that would be double my current longest ride. Then next year, or before I turn 40 I want to ride 100 miles in one ride.
I have been biking all winter on a trainer in the basement, got boring at times, but having Zwift really helped with not being able to get outside. By doing this I am in way better shape this Spring. I have noticed that I am less winded at the end of my rides and my average speed in a little quicker.
I purchased a state trail pass this year as I will be biking the Cheese Country trail to get my 50 mile ride. This trail takes me through a few counties in the southwest and south part of Wisconsin. I am excited to see what the trails have in store for me as the summer moves forward.
The guys at Momentum Bikes in Platteville Wisconsin are a great resource to have. They take good care of my bike(s), and have helped me equip my bike with a frame bag to carry the emergency gear and food for my longer bike rides this year and in the future.
See you on the trails!
