Long run and a new bike


My abbreviated 50km training schedule reached its apex this weekend - 26 miles. In order to prepare for the Psycho Wyco on February 9th, I've been using a truncated 50-miler schedule. This weekend was supposed to be the long run and, all in all, it went well - I didn't hurry and I respected the walking break I definitely think I have the suds to stay on my feet for 50km. Of course, running 50km on a frozen bridle path may be a different story.

The above picture is a funny shot of a misshapen Brooks B-17 I gleaned from Tzuo Hann Law's journal on Crazy Guy on a Bike. I picked up a new randonneuring bike last week - a Specialized Tricross. I've ridden it a couple times already and think I made the perfect choice. It's not a Rivendell, but it's light, comfy and good looking. And it has a Brooks Saddle.
