Sunday, myself and Layne had planned to hit up 2 full-on almost race type laps at Mohican State Park. This was just shy of 50 miles for both laps. We were hoping for sub 6 hours. We did it.
Moving time 5:21 total time. Much of the group (Joel, Ben) finished within 30 minutes of each other after the first lap - good stuff for Joel and Ben. Joel got in not too long after us and said he had some cramping issues - Ben rolled in shortly after on his Single speed stiff forked bike >owww.
The first lap, I pushed the pace, really hard with Tim, Layne, Glen and Jon on the first lap. Layne, Tim and I kept our stops to the very minimum and slowed up to eat and drink out of bottles etc. when needed. This was a great way to simulate eating, drinking and racing. We finished the first lap, went back to the car, got some food - drink and headed back out. Layne and I were the only ones. We paced and motivated each other on the second lap. I felt great for about 70% of the second lap didn't feel great at mile 21, but it came back around about mile 23. We were both excited to see our ride time for both laps. It was a good measure of our fitness for the Mohican 100k which is at the end of May.
