Training rides are under way

Training Ride Leader with David, Jan & Owen
Today we did an 85 mile training ride that took us over part of what we will ride on Day 1, June 1st.    We were in the saddle over 6 hours and counting breaks we were out training over 8 hours.  This is a typical day of training leading up the the week long June ride.  We have to get our muscles, endurance and bottom sides prepared on the weekends, since we all work during the week.  There isn't any other way to train for a 7 day ride.  We stopped at San Gregorio State beach for our lunch break.  One of the volunteer TRL's had our lunches in his car.  This is the same lunch spot we'll be at on day one, June 1st.
