February Update

There are a couple of days left in the month but I have a busy week ahead. Total so far with 4 days left: 247 miles ridden. Mostly indoors because the weather has been wet and cold. I learned my lesson last year when I got a bit hypothermic while riding in the cold and rain. And what do we do?! Know better, do better!

I've been researching endurance training plans to get ready for September but I haven't signed up for any so far. I'm not worried about the distance but certainly the hills. There isn't much opportunity to train hills beyond 2,000ft unless it's an all-day affair. The Cap Trail 100 is right around 2k. I guess that's a future me problem.

I've decided!

This is the year I'll be pedaling across Virginia for the Challenge. Planning, logistics, routing, and training have already begun. There are a lot of moving parts to make this adventure happen but I'm excited to tackle this as my husband and I have been talking about it for YEARS. I think the most difficult aspect will be the elevation gains 100%. We have lived in coastal VA for the last 10 years so hills are hard to come by. 30K ft climbing here we come!

2024 Goals

Ride 700 miles in September

Go on more adventures

Keep my riding consistent to avoid the saddle-sores of 2023.
