Back to work from my vacation (My vacation was riding every day) and am jonesing to get back on my road bike. Don't have enough time during the week to really ride but I do fit a workout on a stairmaster brand exercise bike into my lunch break. I can't believe how much easier that thing has gotten since I really started logging miles on my road bike.
I will try to make up for lost time by getting some long rides this weekend. Probably shoot for a couple have centuries.

Ride On.

How far did you ride on vacation?

The vacation was 10 days. I started doing a 24 mile loop. About as flat as you can get. I stayed with the same route but did out and backs at various points gradually building up the mileage. My longest was 48 miles (turning around at the end and coming back).
Oh and by the way, my pants fit a little bit looser and I had to tighten my belt more when returning to work.

I want to build a little more endurance and build more "bike" legs before I transition into the hills.
