No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn

Last night was the annual City Coach "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" Century Ride in Prospect Park. This was my third year dong the ride, which consists of 30 laps of the 3.3 mile loop.

I ended up doing 111 miles last night, including the ride to the park and my post ride mileage. I finished sometime around 12:30, averaging somewhere just over 19 mph for the ride. Unfortunately, I completely bonked around mile 80 and had to suffer severely through the last 30 miles or so. I got dropped and had to ride solo for that last section. I tried to catch back up to the group, but just couldn't manage it solo.

My legs feel completely dead today, but I'm still glad I got the ride in last night.

Race Across the Window II

Tomorrow marks the start of year 2. You may remember last year's event. We're riding 24/7 on a computrainer in the window of JackRabbit until we hit 3,000 miles. Its once again a team of 8, with each person riding a 3 hours shift.

I'll be on from 6a-9a every morning. We start at noon tomorrow, so my first shift will be friday morning.

This year's ride benefits the Challenged Athlete Foundation. We'll have live webcams, guest riders, celebrity appearances, etc. I'll post more info as I have it, but here are some relevant links:
