I haven't posted on my road riding of late.  I'm still trying to get out every Saturday (and in fact succeeded on the past two consecutive Saturdays) with the North County Cycle Club.  Including today's ride my current mileage is 5525 which puts me at just under 1,700 for the year and which means I'm only about 325 short of my goal for the year.  The current plan is to make my next ride the new Tour de Poway century ride.  Last year I did the metric century which was 63 miles, so this year they've introduced a new century route that I'm going to take.  Of course my longest rate thus far this year has been like 60 miles so going for a full 100 is a challenge.   On the good side the worst of the elevation is at the start of the ride, on the bad side my mapping software doesn't include one of the new road extensions nor the bike path so there is no way to tell how accurate the elevation profile between mile 80 and the 3rd stop are in the image below.

At any rate my bigger concern is distance since I haven't really got the miles, and I'll be out of town most of the coming week with my plane not landing till close to midnight the night before the ride.  But sometimes you just have to go for it... Of course if this goes well I think I may have to try for one more century before year end - probably a Tour de Cure ride up in Riverside but we'll see how this goes first.
