[QUOTE=dd74;5391671]My mileage varies. Sometimes it's as low as 10 miles a day, sometimes as high as 40 miles. It depends on my schedule. But I ride every day, and include some sort of hill climb during each ride. I don't use computers or anything like that. I simply try to ride hard when the opportunity presents itself. I always keep the Eddy Merckx philosophy in my head, which is "...ride lots..."


Thanks very much, that is encouraging for me. I ride at least 15 miles a day and most days 25 to 40 right now, working on getting some 50 milers in soon. Also have a 75 mile group ride scheduled for mid August. I work on hills and will be looking for longer and steeper inclines as the long trip in August approaches.

keep pumping!
