Another day, another 50 miles.
Felt stronger today, although my average speed was identical to yesterday.
And as luck would have it, with about 8 miles to go I saw three people closing in fast behind me and jumped on the last person's wheel, and drafted them at an incredible speed of 24 mph for the next 3 or 4 miles until I turned off while they went straight. I think it was a father and wife and daughter or father and two daughters.
What a great ride!

Welcome!
Welcome to my daily blog about me exercising. Sounds exciting? Not. But if you are a FOD (Friend of Doug) or looking for a virtual workout bud, read on. Throughout the year I hope to ride in RAGBRAI as well as in Italy. I have ridden in Italy the past three years and done the RAGBRAI once, as well as the Ride The Rockies 3 times. Also the NY Marathon three times. And I bill myself as the world's slowest triathlete. Truly! Hard to find anyone who trains regularly who is slower than I am! No brag. Just fact. Enjoy.
