Training Plan

Here is my (tentative) training plan for the next month or so. A couple of weeks ago, I started with a 20 mile ride to Davenport and back. My second ride is documented below. Next weekend I hope to ride 30 miles (from SC halfway down Swanton Road and back). Depending on how I feel, I might stretch it to 40 miles the following weekend. This ride will go to the end of Swanton road and back. There is a fairly challenging hill at the end of Swanton.

I will ride the next two weekends and then take a week off to visit my Father and Joyce in Palm Springs. After I return from Palm Springs, I would like to take shorter bike rides on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Then a longer ride on the weekend. My guess is that the shorter rides will be 20 milers to Davenport and back. The longer rides will depend on how I feel that day.

Once I feel stronger, I will add in some hill climbing. Most likely going up Empire Grade road. Or maybe Highway 9.
