That might seem like plenty of time to some folks but that’s not much time for me before I depart on the Million Dollar Tour. I’ve still got a lot to do and training is at the top of the list. Last Saturday I did my longest ride of the year so far, 70 miles. I’ll need to keep upping the mileage if I plan on being able to keep a 78 mile day average by the end of the trip. Right now my training rides are only averaging 35 miles per ride.
I’ll be doing a fully loaded test ride next Saturday and then the first weekend in June I’ll be riding to Quincy and staying overnight in my brothers firehouse and then returning the next day. It will be a couple 65 mile days back to back. That should really help me see how the bike performs and how well the gear will handle the ride.
I’ve still got some equipment to be tried and tested and some phone calls to make to some towns where I’ll be staying. Hopefully I’ll be ready to go by the time these next 100 days are up.
