I did a 41 mile ride on Saturday. Didn't eat anything. Bonked toward the end. Nothing a sandwich and a can of Red Bull couldn't fix when I got home. My goal was distance, not time. I granny geared the hill climbs and coasted down hills. Not setting any speed records here. :D

Here's a Map of my route (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&ie=UTF8&om=1&msid=102559398353026737755.000439b7d14a9b0a1cea5&ll=44.482486,-73.206906&spn=0.107495,0.138616) with clickable picture thingies. It doesn't show the first/last mile or so because I'm not locating my house on a map. ;)
