Puttin’ things in motion

One of my goals this year is to complete some longer rides. A century or two for sure, but hopefully a Brevet Series as well. I’ve already missed the first round of the PCH Randos Brevet series, and I’m not sure that I’ll be ready for the 300k next month. So last night, with the help of my wife Serbrina, I laid out my training schedule for my first century.

I’ve signed up for the Adventure Corps Hells Gate Hundred in Death Valley on April 3rd. So with the help of a training guide I sat down and backtimed my riding for the next 10 weeks. The main goal of this training will be completing the the Hells Gate Hundred, but the added benefit will be setting me up for the second round of Brevets that begin in May. The Brevet Series will take me through October, and will include more than a couple Double Centuries.

So with some careful planning I think I’ll be able to accomplish my long distance goals this year. If I keep on track I’ll be completing centuries as just training rides for Brevet Series.

The tough part was planning it out, but now that it’s done, the only thing left to do is pedal!
