Two more days

It's now just two more days until the LIVESTRONG ride. The Oregonian had an article in the Living section about it. The article noted that the organizers guarantee Lance only riding the 10-mile route. We'll see if he sticks to a half-hour ride, or decides to go on one of the longer routes.

Yesterday was a rest day for me. Completely off the bike. Today I went for a short, but intense loop ride around and up Bull Mountain. Just 11 miles and 38 minutes, most of it around a Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) of around 7 or 8 (out of 10). Just to get my body readjusted to high intensity effort.

Tomorrow I'll do one more short, easy ride to keep my body used to working and to make sure my bike doesn't show any mechanical problems.
