I skipped the 300K brevet in New Jersey for this weekend, I also avoided the RBC ride for sunday. I'm still feeling overtrained and I'll be putting in some huge miles on thursday and friday. I'm riding down to Charleston, South Carolina for my cousin's wedding. Mapquest says its around 550 miles by car, it will be longer by bike. I researched a route down Skyline Drive and then the Blue Ridge Parkway, but that would be about 700 miles (and a hilly 700 miles at that). The route I'm taking through Virginia is relatively flat and I should be able to make good time on the way down.
I used my heart rate monitor today during my recovery "ride"(on a trainer) and I noticed that all of my recovery rides this week were too easy. I need to wear my heart rate monitor more often. The body gets stronger during recovery.
