I test rode the entire route today. It would appear that the organizers did not accurately measure the distance. Either that or my bike computer is not properly calibrated. My computer says I rode over 98 km today - a big difference from the anticipated 90 km. Even so, it was a good ride. The longest I have ever done, no pain, and I kept a good pace. I really tailed off on the final approach, especially from about Camoson up to Thunderbird Stadium. I was averaging about 31.4 km/h until that stretch.
For the rest of the week, I am going to do short, easy rides just to keep my legs limber. The hard training is done and it's all up to the big ride on the 23rd.
Details of today's epic journey:
Distance: 98.28 km
Time: 3:14:13
Average Speed: 30.4 km/h
