Wrapped up training camp yesterday with what I planned to be the longest ride of the year so far. Planned on riding from Oakville into the city and hit up the Don trails. I like doing this ride because it is a destination that is far away and takes a long time to ride. I did this ride a couple of weeks ago in about 5:45 so figured on about 6 hours of riding by throwing in a few more trails. Ended up doing it in 5:15 so didn't quite get the hours in I was hoping for but on a positive note I guess I am riding a little faster. So I got in about 1000km or 33 hours of riding over the past 2 weeks....it could have been more if I didn't get sick and have to take 4 days off the bike. It should provide a good foundation for the intensity build coming up. I plan to still do plenty of long rides but will start including more intensity very soon. Gotta get more speed and especially improve the climbing.
