Had a beautiful solo ride this week around the havelsee, about 100km in all, right at 6 hours. felt great for 3.5 hours then had to go overland pace and grab some food. i brought a sandwich and ate it at 2 hours, but at 4 hours i had to hit up a little bakery for a 30 cent brotchen and was so tired that i could hardly chew my bread without my jaw cramping. it was great. i did drink plent of water, just got nicely fatigued.
this ride was my weekly long ride buildup to the 12 hour team event i am doing wih big wheel racing europe in western central germany, near france, in earlu august. i hit a high hr of 190 several times and held steady at 170 for three hours till dropping down to overland pace to finish up with a six hour average hr of 160. honestly, a little low, but next week will be better. Of course this was all 29er miles. cant imagine what it will be like when i finally get a road bike again!
