Hi all,
I'm so glad I found this place! I live in Maine, and I'll be darned if I can find someone to ride with. They are either waaaay over my level, or they refuse to ride at all. I asked three women in my spinning class last night if they rode on the road, and they all said, "no way, I'd be terrified! My spin bike doesn't fall over or crash." Sigh.
Anyway, it's great to have biker ladies to talk to.
I used to ride frequently. About three years ago, I trained for the Trek Across Maine...a three day endurance event. Fun and tiring!! Then I had my daughter, and stopped doing ANYTHING....so here I am, three years later, with a nice ripply layer of body fat, starting from scratch again. I gave myself the goal of doing a non-competitive Century ride at the end of September. Nervous, excited, and motivated to train!!! I've been spinning and doing a little running for the cardio, and I am going to get back out on the road this week.
Do you know of any good websites or books that will give me some good advice on training for this event?
Thanks!
