183 miles.

That was my total mileage on the bike for this past weekend.

Two rides contributed to the total: a century I led from here in DC, and a more rural ride that originated about 20 miles from home. The riding was quality stuff: not particularly fast, but good mileage to prepare for the big rides coming up in New York and California.

Sure, some cyclists ride further over a weekend, but this worked so well: on day two, with 110 miles out of the way the previous day, my legs felt just fine. It’s a sign that my fitness is where I need it to be, that I’m not overtrainng - but that I need to be mindful of doing a bit too much to prepare.

Quality over quantity - and somehow I got both this past weekend.
