AiPD: Oregon Manifest Blog

The Art Institute of Portland's student team participating in the Oregon Manifest: Bike Constructor's Challenge.

Process: Training for the 50 mile ride

As the official rider for The Art Institute of Portland, I’ve had a hard few weeks of training, with more ahead of me.  I’m up to riding about 150 miles a week on my fixed gear bicycle.  I also plan on taking a few 50 mile rides before the final race day on my bike.  If time is willing I’d love to take Sweet Action on a couple extended rides around town.  I recently found a new 23 mile route that’s takes me from North Portland to Sellwood and back.  I have no gym membership but I have been working out at home everyday for about 45mins.  Not to mention my  new diet and mental training.  I sure long for a nice misty day to take a Century on, which is 100 mile ride.
Catch me if you can, if you see me out and about.
Wish me luck.
