I went on another ride today, on a course I did exactly a month ago. The course is 45 miles. Today was a great day for riding with little wind and by the end of the ride temps were around 81 degrees.
The pace was only slightly slower today 14.08 vs 14.98 the first time. The first ride was tough and my legs were killing me by the end of the ride. Today, when I finsished I felt great, thanks to a couple of breaks along the way. Since I haven't done a 50 mile ride, I thought I would push for that "magic number". If for no other reason then for confidence down the road.
After the first ride I wouldn't have been able to do the extra to get to 50. So I guess I am making progress:thumb:
