Random Notes to Self:

• As with last week, I would likely have notes if I had been able to closely follow Week 7 of my 10-week century training program, but I was excited that I completed my long-ride on Saturday (65 miles) with relative ease.

"'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."
