Can I make the 500 mile mark by Saturday (January 31st)?

So, this is a new record for me.  The amount of outdoor riding is better than the riding I have done in summer months in previous years.  I am at 435 miles, with really only one more planned ride before the end of month.  If I don't hit that mile marker, its ok,  I have also been doing quality indoor spinning 1 or 2 times a week at the Buccellato training facilities and one easy 30 minute recovery spin at the gym (when I can).  As long as I do not over do it, it looks as if my Barry Roubaix race will be a good one.  March 5th the family and I will head back top Georgia for a week of hill training.  After that I will have 2 weeks to get ready for the race.  The plan this year is to include more Addison Oaks and Stony Creek riding.  Yes, I have a plan, but getting a certain number of miles is not a major aspect of my plan.  Having fun is the first item on the list.

Looking forward to looking forward.

2014 was a fun year, I discovered late in the season that I am capable of working harder while having fun. My 2014 Strava story.  I was able to get in just over 4,800 miles! Looking forward to some good things, already in the right direction.
