Well, it’s Friday and I haven’t ridden as much as I was hoping to.  I’m hoping to do a little better this weekend. 

The weather was rainy on Tuesday so I rode for 40 minutes on the trainer.  Wednesday came and my legs were shot so I rode a short 10 miles.  Thursday’s ride was a little better.  I felt fairly normal and got in a good 17 miles.

I have been feeling a little less than 100% healthy the last few days.  Not out and out sick, just a little blah.  I think I have a touch of a cold.  It has gotten better in the last day or so.  I’m hoping to get a good hour to an hour and 1/2 ride in tomorrow (Saturday) followed by 50-70 miles on Sunday with the group.  If I do that I should still get in 7-8 hours of riding which will be more than my average.

I have 15 days until the Six Gap so I want to make sure I am as healthy and recovered as possible.  When this week began I was looking to get in one more tough climbing ride but given the last few days I will not do that.  I think it’s best to just get in a moderate 3-4 hour ride this weekend then do a normal week next week followed by an easy week before the ride.  I definitely have the fitness I just need to make sure my body is ready to go come the 28th.
