Nothing wrong with a banana split if you've earned it. You earned it right?
On my ride this AM I wanted more miles than the local group did so once finished I rode South along the coast for 17 miles then turned around. I quickly found out that I was not have a really big day by being able to ride in the 53/14 as the return trip was in the 53/18-19 and riding into 25 mph coastal winds was brutal.
