I also pushed my ride distance to 35 miles which is the longest for me yet. However, I fear that I will have to step up the pace to keep up with the rest of you guys!
Finally, I tunred in my fastest time yesterday as well (51 minutes and 32 seconds for 15.51 miles). Hey, I know that it is only slightly faster than a kid on a go-cart, but at least it's a personal improvement (it used to take me and hour and 5 minutes to complete this).
500 miles is not bad- better than my 300 a month I am doing. Your average for the hour is probably higher than mine aswell so no problems there either. No need to step up the pace- but you have a chance on Saturday to join in the ride for PIE so find a decent cafe 20 miles away- ride to it, eat the pie and don't forget the pics, and ride back. 40 miles with a break in the middle should up your ride distance- and get you to hit one of the main objectives of the 50+ forum.
