Training for long distances without cycling long distances

Good job on the Ratpod ride. That's a mess a miles.

Well done Ricktoon, considering you had the odds stacked against you, you did very well, I'd had probably given up as soon as the storm started. I bet you got a hell of a view from 7400ft. It is tempting to put your foot down a bit and try and get there, i did a similar thing and it certainly didn't do me any favours either. Watching the tour doesn't help either, what with Armstrong & Co smashing 183km in 3hr 46mins whilst barely breaking into a sweat makes my ride look kind of ... shabby!
