• Adding a short evening core-specific exercise routine from the March 2010 issue of Bicycling Magazine after my Monday, Wednesday and Friday rides.

"'Easy' means taking a leisurely ride, 'pace' means matching the speed you plan to maintain for the century, and 'brisk' means cycling faster than your century pace."
