The purpose of this ride is to build upon the goal of riding a century.  Our prior ride in this training series was last Saturday, 76 miles.  This ride is 83 miles.  At this rate, we will be fully prepared to ride a century by Halloween.  Be advised that this is an endurance ride.  It is not about speed.  Plan on a steady 19 to 21 mph , 170 to 220, watts of power, zone 2 to 3, call it what you want:  don’t jack it up.  The average speed should end up between 19 and 20 mph.  There will be three stops:  the 20-, 40-, and 60-mile point.  The first two stops will be no more than 5 minutes.  The third stop will be at Main Road Biscuit and a bit longer.  This ride is the stitching together of familiar routes, all good roads.  The weather looks good.  I hope to see you.
