Today is Sunday June 15 2025 and i rode my bike yesterday and today.
When you add up the two rides i did a total of 92 miles.
I cant remember the last time i did that many miles in two days.
On Saturday (yesterday) i decided to ride some gravel but i chose to drive about 25 minutes South before starting. The ride ended up being 47 miles and i'd guess that 20/25 of those miles were gravel. Not bad for me, pretty good actually, but Gravel Worlds in August is 75 miles and most of those miles are gravel so despite feeling pretty good about yesterdays ride I've still got a long way to go.
Like that song from the movie Smokey and the Bandit "We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there".
But still... yesterdays ride was pretty great.
Todays ride was also great.
Normally i can only get in one big ride a week but today is Fathers Day so i played the Fathers Day card and did a second big ride.
I took the CX (gravel) bike again but this time i stayed on the pavement. i pedaled North. My legs felt pretty good for the whole ride. Although i think i had too much coffee and too many syrupy drink mix drinks because after about two and a half hours i was craving plain water. But its all good, i found the plain water (at the city's best water fountain which can be found in crown center next to the fountain) and finished the ride strong.
Ride Number One.....
