Today's 48-mile bike ride was accompanied by mixed emotions. There was excitement for what lies ahead, excitement over the long training season coming to an end and excitement that it was the last long ride on the schedule before the 112-mile ride. Yet, at the same time, there was a sense of sadness. I've become very fond of the ladies I've surrounded myself with this year and although, we will ride together again, each of our goals for 2010 will be different. There is also sadness that this journey is about to end. As ready as I've been for it to wrap up, I am going to miss the consistency of the schedule, the predicability of the rides and the familiarity of the roads. A short 4-mile run followed the bike.
Tomorrow is our trip to Charlotte. Buzz and all of my gear will be dropped at Inside Out Sports and we'll be reunited on the other side of the United States in two weeks. Two weeks! Unbelievable. What a ride it's been :) Happy Training!
