Bicycling magazine has published this very helpful and informative guide on how to ride and race your bike on gravel. I encourage all aspiring gravel riders to read and take this information to heart. I have some changes to make to my training plans! While you are at it, I also recommend this helpful training tool:

Next time you head out on a training ride, this can help take the guess work out of what clothing you should wear. Thank me later!

Here is a dump of photos of spring training efforts so far. Right now I am at about 700 miles for the month of March. Looks like I will fall a bit short of the 1,000 mile goal, but I am not too discouraged as my riding has been of high quality and I have been running consistently as well. Rides out in Franklin Grove, a trip down to the Ozarks for a week, a solo century, commuting, and other rides here and there make up the miles accumulated so far. Training is going well, the weather at the end of April remains the unknown and unforeseeable variable. Hope for the best, and keep at it until then.
