I'll take a bottle of advil and some muscle mend!<br /><br />Susan, You are clearly better at this training thing than I am. I pretend that little hills count as intervals.<br /><br />Dorothy W., Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement.<br /><br />MSILF, Yes, there might be. But I don't know how this tour thing works. I'm guessing it involves lots of walking around looking at pretty scenery and eating lunch. But there's no way around it: for ma, 75 miles will involve at about 5 hours on a bike. (Unless it's all downhill!)Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-68346328776183243132009-05-05T01:51:00.000-07:002009-05-05T01:51:00.000-07:00Isn't there a difference between 35 miles in a day...Isn't there a difference between 35 miles in a day versus at one stretch?Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606922510495018342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-61124985813040829002009-05-04T12:46:00.000-07:002009-05-04T12:46:00.000-07:00You can gain a lot of fitness in a few weeks, I th...You can gain a lot of fitness in a few weeks, I think, especially since cycling isn't brand new to you.

And that usually the long bike rides are broken up with a few stops to admire the scenery or get a drink.<br /><br />So if you push yourself a bit more each week until you go, I'm pretty sure you'll do well. Just make sure to take along a fair bit of the necessary meds for the overnight recovery.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093558563358431804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-64749769864435423732009-05-04T06:25:00.000-07:002009-05-04T06:25:00.000-07:00Won't the extra fizz, etc, of Yellowstone give you...Won't the extra fizz, etc, of Yellowstone give you a kick?<br /><br />I always had trouble with training for races, but could run the race itself fairly easily.delagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197857250240640822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-88213164671021860652009-05-03T20:20:00.000-07:002009-05-03T20:20:00.000-07:00My husband loves to bike, but he hasn't in a LONG ...My husband loves to bike, but he hasn't in a LONG while, and he's super out of shape. Well, he went on an 11-mile ride on Thursday, and then had to stay home from work on Friday because his whole body ached so bad he could barely get out of bed. So don't feel too bad. At least you're not having to call in sick at work because you're so out of shape. :)Fie upon this quiet life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12047096700049201873noreply@blogger.com
