OT - I punched out 86, going for 100!

Yep....I nailed 86 miles on the bike today. I'm doing a century next week.

Outstanding, Roger .... my best of this year was 80.2 (Seneca Lake in NY if
maps are your thing).....planning for a century next year .... lead the way,
man! What a great feeling of accomplishment.

I'm anxious to hear about how 100 feels at the end!

Thanks...I thought about waiting until next year too...but then, today while
riding, I thought that there is no real reason not to go for it this year,
since i have one organized ride left which is Saturday.

There is a Seneca near where my ride with be...the event is called "Ride for
the Raptors" and was a winner in 1993 of a best Century competition.

Were it not for a date with a lovely lady that I had planned, I would have
found out today. I had plenty left in the tank (due to paying attention to
HR while riding, though I did get up to 170/176 once or twice, it think).

Sounds good Roger. I don't think you will have a problem with it if you
already did 86 miles. You are almost already there. You are kicking it !

Let us know how it goes.

I wonder how many calories you burned?

It must be a huge number.

My HRM says 6158....average HR of 141, max of 170 (I've never had my HR go
above 176).

Fitday says 4232...I haven't check my cycling software yet....it's lets me
enter the climbing info too, when computing calories burned. However, it
was quite windy out yesterday, and that makes riding tougher, and either of
the software tools I use account for wind resistance.

I don't rely on these numbers too much, though...I just eat according to how
the body feels. If I don't eat some carbs after one of the long rides, I
have real problems.
