That was yesterday, on paved trail, and it's my new record, previous max was 110.
I set out just before noon with the goal of 120 miles, and planned to achieve it by focusing on my rpm more than speed. So, I pedaled at the rate my body wanted and exerted force whenever I felt strong.
On top of perfect weather (mid-70's), my nutrition choices were flawless, resulting in a nearly non-stop final 60 miles. Also, maintaining a nice steady cadence of around 90 made for very comfortable cycling. My only discomfort was running out of daylight as I approached home.
This morning, I am feeling pretty good: no soreness, healthy appetite. But, I sure do not want to get back on the bike again.
