Roy says you have to get in your cardio and keep Hydrated!
What a fun way to spend a Saturday. Steve and I rode our bikes from Irvine to San Diego in the Orange County Wheelmen's annual Amtrak century ride. The weather was perfect. It had been unusually hot in the days leading up to the ride, but Saturday the sun chose to not show until well after lunch.
I was slow on the hills but made up for it on the flats and downhills. We were able to meet up with our friends the Painters and Kerfoot kids along the route. Having regular fueling stations made the ride seam easy. The months of boot camp conditioning plus a loss of 18 pounds made me feel like I was in my 30's again. Our total riding time was 5 hours and 47 minutes. We enjoyed some good snacks and fellowship on the train ride back.
