Sunday before Easter we did a 75-80 miler from Orange Park south past Camp Blanding to Keystone and back. I'd left the house before 0800 and got back before 1200. Yes thats 4 hours @ 20 mph, and no I'm not braggin'. Although, I'm damned proud that I was able to hang on, for the most part.
I was hoping to go to Cocoa to do the Cross Florida Ride, but looks like that's gonna fall through. If anyone would consider that ride, I would highly recommend it. I did it about 10-12 years ago, and I had a great time. 175 miles in like 12 hours, average speed around 17 mph. And you can too.
Congrats on the ride from OP to Camp Blanding. 20 MPR is pretty awsome. and to bad you will not be able to do the cross FL ride. I would love to do it but I don't think I can keep that average MPH.
