Today is national bike to work day

So do I hop on my bike and ride a circle around my house and come back in orrrrr
Does bring your bike to work count? It’s in the back of my truck, I’m just not riding today.

Speaking of races, I’ve got a century gravel ride in one week, followed by a cycling/music festival for two days and a week after that, a 50 mile gravel race. Tis the season.
 
Honestly for me it was so much trial and error and running with more experienced ultra runners and then journey runners.
The longer the race the bigger percent tends to be mental vs physical (plus the more older guys like me can still hang in)
That tracks. I gotta work on some mental mantras and serious fueling strategies for my 50K next year.

Awesome man!!
Gravel is no joke either!! Bet you're looking forward to that.
I used to do SAG for a couple of races but not so good on the bike myself (my dad was super onto centuries etc)

Lots of slow long training runs
Lots of fuel experimenting... ESPECIALLY electrolytes - when I moved up to 50k that was when that first became a huge thing for me
And train as much as you can on tired legs
