79 miles in four hours? Fantastic!
I'm usually happy if my average is anywhere near 15...

Simply AWESOME!
Just wondering. For you long-distance riders, where do you stop and urinate? DO you plan your restroom stop in advance, or just tinkle in the bushes

Let's just say that I try to plan my 'rest' stops in advance, although I've gotten pretty quick about the whole thing.

I couldn't get the map to work. Was it really 79 miles in 4 hours? That's a maintained 20 mph??? I thought a fast club ride maxed out at like 16-17?

Great ride!
I too am in the 12-13mph range. And about 2.5 hours is my limit so far.

I keep hoping sometime I'll get a recent image and see myself in it on the bike! Wouldn't that be cool?
