Memorial Day Training Plan

Well, now that's it's stopped raining for a few minutes I realize the Memorial Day ride is right around the corner and we haven't had much of a chance for training.

We're going to have to do the best we can with the two weekends we have left, so here's my current thinking:

• Next weekend, go all uphill to Pinelands with the option of adding on the Gloucester Hill loop just past Pinelands (50-60 miles, 2500-3200' climbing)
• The weekend of the 18th, we'll head up to Little Dog Café in Brunswick (65 miles, 2700' climbing).

So far, the weather looks favorable for the week but, if we have to move the ride time or day on either weekend in order to get the rides in, we will.

The mountains are calling, and we must go...
