Just came back from my solo ride. About 10 miles in I got bored and was about to turn back, but then I realized I had downloaded the FredCast Cycling podcast into my iPod. I started listening to it and it really made my ride enjoyable. I did another 20 miles and then I came back home because I had some work to do. Downloading some more podcasts right now for tomorrows ride or maybe later today. Thanks everyone!
