Training in the Rain for GRABAAWR

It has been a while since the last time I blogged about my bike adventure and training is going slow. I have lost 25 pounds and started to ride my bike to work. Round trip is about 35 miles, and the ride is pretty flat except for a few hills. I have wanted to get more rides in, but the weather has not been on my side. Since I am down to 8 weeks I need to push ahead and get more miles on. Amber took this picture after a 12 mile ride in a down pour. But off course it stops raining after the ride. To make up for lost time I have added running during my off days on the bike. I sure do not enjoy running!

Bike Adventure (GRABAAWR) Update

It has been 2 months since the last time I blogged about my bike adventure, and training is on track. I have lost over 15 pounds and putting plenty of miles on my butt (I ride my bike on a trainer in the basement). However, riding in the basement is so boring that I have started to run these past 2 weeks instead of riding. Once the weather stay above 50 degrees I will get back on the bike and ride couple of hours a day (4-5 days a week). You will also noticed that they change our finish to Muscoda instead of Spring Green. This has add 20+ mile on the trip, and new mileage total will be 448-489 miles, 64-70 miles average per day. Crazy!!!!
