I did 45.5 miles today, 3 hours 7 minutes with average speed of 14.7 on the folder. I would have kept on going but my body was yearning for food since all I had this morning were 2 cups of coffee and 1 1/2 pint of water. It was a good ride despite the wind blowing and gusting to 30MPH. Maybe I can ride this weekend Ride the Drive. The most I ever rode on a bike was 35 miles, that was last year. Could have done the 50 but I will have it another day.

Good show! This was on your Dahon right?
What sort of route were you riding? (roads, trails/pathways, hills/flat, etc)

I'm surprised that you didn't need any other nutrition?
(e.g. power bars, bananas, ... anything!)

Yes the Speed D7. I was riding on flat and paved trails and on roads. Maybe I was motivated to ride farther by the heart rate monitor I was wearing and an older man on a mountain bike I met at the water fountain telling me he need another 6 miles and he will be done for the day. He had 27 miles already on his cyclometer while I had 14 miles. If he could go the distance, I could too right? I never bring any food with me on most of my rides, just plain water is enough for me.
