Week of Training in Prescott, AZ - March 20 - 27

Monday the 15th I'll be shipping the bike and other gear out to our place in Prescott, AZ.  My wife, Anna, and I will get there on the 19th.  Plan is to assemble the bike and be out on the road the next morning per the training itinerary below:

All training rides will start and end in Prescott at the Safeway parking lot, 450 White Spar Road.

• Saturday (20th), 6AM. South on 89 to Aguila and back; 141 miles; approximately 11 hours. Lights fore and aft advised.
• Sunday (21st), 5AM. North on 89 to Flagstaff and back; 180 miles; approx 14 hours. Lights fore and aft required.

The week during which I won't have the bike (15th - 19th) I'll be training on the elliptical.  This is an excellent indoor training alternative to the bike and works many of the same muscles.
