Preparing for Burleson, TX 67 Mile Bike Ride
Alberto Guerrero | www.youtube.com
Preparing for this 67-mile Bike Ride to be held on May 25, 2024, in Burleson, Texas, which is inching closer and closer, and it is becoming a stark reality of just how difficult it is going to be to complete the 67 miles. As an untrained and novice rider, I am learning a lot about myself, nutrition, and my body’s abilities. I also have a whole new perspective for the sport of cycling because I am learning that it is not just about the physical capabilities of the athlete but it is an art form in itself regarding body positioning, bike fit, and the science in knowing how to keep the body properly fueled throughout a ride to maintain endurance and constant pedaling.

Charity ride, starting and ending in Simonton. Very pretty to ride there from home, joined the Wood riders for a while. Continued solo, joined the UBG riders for a while, then finished the official 78 mile loop. Rode home after I had a juicy burger for lunch.
My longest ride since 2020, and it was a perfect day for it.
