2010 & 2011 Ride To Conquer Cancer Training Diary

Awful ride this week. I felt like I was going to throw up for the first hour. Never eat a big meal before a ride! Did 45KM total.

Total Mileage: 745 KM

Less than two weeks to go to the ride. I got two rides in this week. Jim M and I did a nice 32K ride through newcastle area and then a tough 42K club ride the next night up Solina and Enfield.

Total Mileage: 700 KM

Did a 50 KM social ride tonight with the club. Ran into the back of Brian when he had to brake hard because of a car…I hit the pavement. A little road rash but otherwise all is ok.

Total Mileage: 626 KM

Tuesday night club ride. Went with the fast group. Did 36 KM. Felt very good.

Total Mileage: 576 KM

Finally did the fabled Port Hope ride from Bond Head. Beautiful route and a great day. The weather could not have been better. Rode with Jaime and did 50 KM on the dot.

Total Mileage: 540 KM

Did 35KM with the club last night. Nice ride.

Total Mileage: 490 KM

Nice first club ride. Did 28KM. Glad to be back riding in a group.

Great ride along the lakeshore from Newcastle. Beautiful route. Did 30 KM and felt good. Also did 20 KM earlier in the week.

Took a bit of a break because of weather and a sore back. Did a nice 29 KM ride today out to Bowmanville and back through Darlington PP.

Noticed I had a flat tire as I was getting ready. Changed tire and tube and went for a 24 KM ride to Bowmanville and back. Warm day with a South Westerly wind.
