I honestly figured a fit issue would show up in 20 miles. I really hadn't thought about that. I'm hoping at least this 52 mile trip will give me an idea of how I'll fare on this bike and how 'ready' I am for 100 miles. If this trip works out alright, we have another one that's closer to 65 miles round trip that ends up in a really beautiful state park...
