Big Week Starts Today

Ok, so seven days of cycling in a row to get ready for big efforts at TransRockies. We'll be riding some longer days, and some of what I would call my normal long days (5 hours or so); though those will be only two or so days. Anyway, really important to get the legs used to the idea of riding hard on consecutive days + consecutive days.

So, this week is:

Sunday (today): two hours really fast on the road. 65-70K.
Monday: 3 hours on the mountain, seated, hard efforts up hill (90% heart rate). 50-60K.
Tuesday: 4 hours on the road 100-110K.
Wednesday: 5 hours long slow distance on the mountain bike. 80-90K.
Thursday: 4 hours road ride 100-110K.
Friday: 3 hours on the mountain, seated, hard efforts up hill (90% heart rate). 45-55K.
Saturday: Two hours on the road 60K max.
Weekly volume should be about 475-525K. This is a BIG week. We'll be tired.

Week after is travel for Rob, to Japan; going to do some promotional work.
John is going to Ostomy Camp. Can't wait.
