I did what was billed as a 3/4 century today. Actual length 72 miles and it took me just under 5 hours actual elapsed time including stops. The ride started off at a nice cool 64 deg. F and never got much higher than the low 80s. After all of the excess heat this summer, a mild chill in the air at the start was most welcome. This is the longest ride of my 50+ cycling career and right now my legs feel pretty shredded. I will probably go out this evening for a quick spin around the neighborhood at a high cadence just to make sure that the kinks are all worked out. Still a lot of fun.
