Unfortunately due to crazy weather, some sickness, and extended work days, we missed a few important biking days last week. And when you average 40-50 miles per day, that is no easy thing to make up. However, we are not discouraged and know we will be right back on track within a week or so.
To compensate for the days we missed, we are adding several miles to each ride day this week and next week. We've knocked out 61 miles every morning this week...most days completing the miles by 7am (after the first 30, I'm usually finally awake for the day) which allows us to still be available for a full work day afterwards. On this pace, we will be back on track sometime by the end of next week. One thing is for sure, by March 1st, we will be joyfully strolling into Malibu, CA. If only we could physically be there to complete the final miles down the Pacific Coast Highway...
Another thing is for sure, our backends now reside in a permanent state of numbness. I'm not so sure if this is a good or bad thing for the remainder of our ride. Either way, we are rolling with it and enjoying every turn of the pedal! Some days we are even lucky enough to catch a good televised sporting event while riding. This can help pass the 2 - 2 1/2 hours of riding. Thank you World Gym for this much appreciated luxury.
The NWA vs Hunger event is coming along nicely. We have a great number of awesome teams already committed to helping us pack several hundred thousand nutritious meals for our neighbors in need. It's going to be an extremely fun day of service and giving back and we can't wait to see it all come together.
