further planning for riding farther

okay, now that we are in the month of march, and the vernal equinox is just 19 days away, and my bikeride beginning on Good Friday is just 24 days away, the pressure is on for training.

in the mail, i received a new bike seat (Brooks B-17) for better comfort on longer rides... the funny thing is, it's rock hard. supposedly, though, it is very comfortable & stuff. i dunno about that, but i'm gonna give it a chance. they say to break it in, and to do that i'm gonna try riding 500 miles in the next 24 days. that would be an average of 21-22 miles a day. however, i need to do a long ride, like 100 miles, and there are days i won't ride cuz i have work and class on the same day...

that leaves me with no riding on the 7th, 14th & 21st (class days)
extra riding on 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th Saturdays & Sundays (no work or class)

However, my grandparents have an anniversary party on the 13th, and I may not ride that day. I hope readers won't mind if I work some math here:

6th, 12th, 20th: 40 mile rides

5th, 19th: 100 mile rides

That gives me 320 miles. Wow. so 180 miles are split over the remaining 16 days, which gives me about 11-12 miles to ride on those days. That's also nice, cuz that's about an hour, and it's hard to spare more than an hour on school days!
