Preparing for an U.L.C.E.R.
The weekend after next is the Utah Lake Century Epic Ride. It's a 100 mile (i.e. century) ride adjacent to Utah Lake that Rosey and I signed up to ride. Since it had been a while since either Rosey or I had ridden that far consecutively, we decided to do a training ride this weekend to prepare. We rode 80 miles behind Utah Lake from Elberta to Eagle Mountain and then back. Although I'm in pretty good shape from riding my bike to work several days a week, going on that long of a ride is a whole different challenge. A ride that long is as much of a test of your endurance for pain as it is a test of your physical fitness. Fortunately, we both survived the training ride and I think that we are in good shape to tackle the full 100 the weekend after next.

I know this is a little off-topic, but does Rosey have a blog site? I'd like to get to know her a little better before you completely wear her out with all these 'endurance tests' you've been putting her through! :)
She does have a blog site but she doesn't update it very frequently.
