The Fall -n- Leaf ride put on by Mid-Ohio Bikers was this past weekend. The Fall -n- Leaf ride offers two distances, 37 and 65 miles, and takes place in the scenic areas of southern Richland and northern Knox counties. Described by some riders as “the most beautiful ride they did all year”. For those of you that stick to racing may not realize the miles these riders cover in a season. If they say an area is a beautiful ride, believe it.
Colleen, pictured above at the RAIN ride, used this event as training for an up coming back to back century. Her description of the course, HILLY. With a large portion of the day spent in very high heart rate zones. The weather was also a little cool for her liking.
Colleen puts in an incredible amount of mileage during the season. This year she completed several of these “shorter” events as training for longer venues such as TOSRV , the RAIN Ride and a couple of other like them. TOSRV is a two day, 200 mile ride from Columbus, OH to Portsmouth, OH and back again the next day. RAIN is a 1 day, 160 mile ride across Indian take the Historic National Highway Route 40.
Check out a future post about her review of her season as part of a follow up to Ending the Season.
