Ahh, moderation. Who needs it.
I took my new found love of riding the county roads and a day off from work too far. I decided that riding 25 miles to a fishing spot I like would be a great idea. I learned that I am CAPABLE of a 50 mile ride. I also learned that I have not built up to the point that I ENJOY any part of the final 10 miles of a 50 mile ride into a headwind.
Time to build up to it, I guess.
