I'm still really unexcited about the 50K bike-race component of the Old Man Winter event I signed up for...but I don't think I can withdraw and get my money back. So I guess I better train for it.
Today was another perfect weather day: 50s, sunny, no wind.
I headed east on the Coal Creek Trail, through Lafayette and into Erie, out and back, with a quick loop around the Erie bike park on my way back.
I'm not crazy about this route since, from my house, all the "out" is downhill and then I have to climb the whole way back. But it's an amazingly long stretch of non-road trail / bike path, so that's nice.
I was really slow for the last eight miles...but I got it done and it wasn't too miserable.
