June 1 - On my rain free Saturday --  10.1 miles 55 minutes just in and around Sturgeon.  I needed to get back for a family reunion.  In the month, (May 1 to June 1) I have been able to train -- I have ridden 306.4 miles.  That seems like a lot until you realize that I'll ride 253 miles in 5 days. 

Two weeks from today, I check in for the big ride.  I rode to Centralia and back 20.5 miles in 1 hour and 48 minutes before church.

The weather was supposed to be nice, I found a way to get dropped off --everything was supposed to be terrific.  Then the river rose, so no biking the trail until it recedes.  So I had to come up with another way to get safely get some long distance riding in.  I got in 40 miles in 3 hours and 20 minutes.  The route is pictured above -- then I retraced my route, and finished riding around in Sturgeon.
