Got home a little later today…trying to get things squared away at work before I leave for my trip next week. Started out today and was going to just do an easy 25, but felt really good so pushed it a little. Averaged 15 mph over my 27 mile out and back and felt pretty easy. Not bad for a loaded touring bike–I had trouble doing that last fall on the bike with nothing on it. Feel like I’m ready…going to keep doing 25-30 each day this week and then do a couple longer rides this weekend. My last training ride will be Sunday, then will take the bike in for service on Monday. Hopefully I can get them to service it and have it ready Thursday evening for me to pick up so I can head to VA Friday morning.
