We had Typhoon season in the PI, and so I remember what that is like. Those winds are crazy and Florida really gets hit doesn't it!

If you go to Hurricane Ridge here and stand right on the Ridge the wind blows so hard it almost lifts you off your feet. It is quite cool, and easy to get away from too. I'll be taking lots of pictures on our ride and will definitely be posting them for everyone to see.

Thanks Mona! You should have

In reply to Teri, you're talking about

Thanks Mona! You should have said your walk is up hill both ways! Hah, my dad used to tell us that, he would walk to school in the middle of winter with snow up to his neck up hill both ways. Hahaha, that still makes me laugh. We are literally cycle insane here, not just nuts, insane. We will be doing that CHaFE 150 again next year too and I plan on being faster errr or feeling faster or something like that!

I think I should be adding swimming into my training Donal. I wanted to do the no carb diet like you wrote about, I just don't think I have the actual will power to do it! I want to be the Federer of old cycling peoples!

Today though is a big weight lifting day and cardio kickboxing, tomorrow another long ride, Thursday weights and kickboxing and Friday off with a bigger ride on Saturday. I want to be ready for this thing, I know it is going to be a bitch.

And I have to remember at all times.... no chocolate. sigh.

Hah, that is funny, I actually have ridden from my house to Port Angeles up to Hurricane Ridge. I don't actually live in the city of Seattle, we live out on a peninsula across from the city. It is quite a ride! It is about 100 miles give or take from my doorstep to the top of Hurricane Ridge. That is actually a great idea brew and is the perfect solution to test our mad bicycle skilz.

"I know it won't be easy since I live at sea level and have for 25 years. "

IMO, saying you live at sea level when you live in Seattle is a bit of a stretch, tmac (my brother is a climber who lives in Tacoma).

Just take the ferry over to the peninsula, park the car at Port Angeles, and a couple of hours later you're at 5,000 feet up in the Olympics. Easy peasy.

Seriously, good luck with the training. Ugh. Although those views look like they might almost make it worth the effort.

Teri, you're talking about

In reply to High Altitude Training -- From Sea Level

Teri, you're talking about miles, right? Miles? 50 miles? 100 miles? Because if you're talking about feet, I could do that. Yards, even. But miles? Two a day walking is my limit. Uphill, though. It's all uphill. Until I come back. Then it's all downhill.

Seriously, I'm impressed.

Fun! I'm enjoying my swimming, but I do miss the long weekend rides.
