I finished my first 100km yesterday. Never again will I do it while towing a 40 lb child! Anyone else done something like this yet this year? Any horror stories? Or funny ones?
I've heard of resistance training, but this is out there. 40lbs doesn't even include the weight of the trailer! The actual ride will be a cake walk in comparison.
I'm about 600 km behind in comparison with my 2010 training. I'm hoping for at least 1 50km ride this weekend. I will not be towing anyone, just riding on my commuting tires instead of thinner road tires.
Actually, the trailer is pretty light - it weighs less than 10 lbs - it's my son that's the resistance training (especially since he won't sit still in the darned thing!). I had to take advantage of the good weather (not including the headwind) yesterday.
