Even though Tim and me got lost for our 2nd week of bike training, we still managed to put on some miles and practice some techniques for long distance biking - such as soft paddling, and practiced a little bit of paceline.
We were unable to find Peavy Arboretum from Lewisburg Rd. Turned out the biking map (printed by Corvallis City Countil) did not list one key road that we needed to take. Because of that, we got onto hwy 99 to put on some more miles to make up for the lost trails.
This trip was about 23 miles, but we did conquer Highland Rd (one of the three steep hills listed on the map), so it was great achievement for us.
Ya. We should have compared the bike map to a real street map.
So are you going to be ready for the 45 mile next week?
Bring it on!
