Intensity Week 2/3

Rode to work on Tuesday 7/26. Then off to Tarrytown for a relatively easy ride on Wed/Thu. Then a brisk ride on Saturday up to Mt. Kisco. Then the NYC 200K ride up to Bear Mtn. Rode most of ride with Nate and Ken, and sometimes Rob. Pretty hot in the sun. Pretty reasonable pace, we finished a little under 9hrs. There was about an hour off the bike, we stopped for a long lunch stop. This is certainly no Charly Miller pace. I guess you could string together six 200Ks to make it about 54 hours. But I'd really like to front load the miles the first 7-800K. The pace the first few hours I hear is nuts so that will be great, just need to stay upright and vigilant. I would love to get to Tinteniac on the way back then stop for a nap around 3am Tuesday morning. We'll see. I have to keep the avg speed at 21.7 km/h, including stops. One good thing I've noticed on this ride, and some others, is that I start to feel great after about 100 miles. I realize I'll be pushing the outer limits on PBP. Going to be an adventure!
