I finally got a loop in today. 70 miles on the bike! I cycled out the Bear Creek trail and down C-470 and then up the Platte River trail. The Garmin stopped working for a while and I reckon I got in about 71-72 miles. The bike computer worked for the most part.
The Bear Creek Trail is nice as its shaded but its a bit bumpy. The really nice thing about it is when you hit Bear Lake park its all bike trail and no road. Getting on the C-470 trail took a bit as it wasn't sign posted.
On the water front it must have been hot or the sun was intense. I went through 84oz of Accelerade and 60oz of water! Thanks goodness for Hudson Gardens as I was able to fill up my bottles or I would have been in real trouble with 23 miles to go. I like that place a lot and will be cycling that area with my father in law. He might even like the gardens too!
I had to cycle through the Susan Komen three day walk which was a slow cycle as I kept coming up behind people. I hope they all made it!
Big news! I got the go ahead that I'm in the Ironman! I think I cycled very hard the first 10 miles as I was so exited! So time to get serious on this! Joking! I'm not sure how I could get any more serious with Kathleen divorcing me!
