On Target

Got a nice ride in today of 60 miles at 16.1 mph with 2500 ft verticle ... on target for Cohutta prep.  It was a reasonable day with temps around 35ish and almost no wind, finally!  There was snow on the ground but the roads were clear and dry for the most part.  I felt good and didn't have to dig too awfully deep to finish the ride, so I am sure I've got some more distance in my legs.  I'll try for 80 on Friday but will likely have to avoid the surge I put in the last 20 miles today to better conserve energy.  I also need to eat just a bit more as I did one Goo at mile 36 and was starting to run a little low by the end.  I'll try for another 60 tomorrow perhaps easing off the pace just a bit.
