We did another 50 miler yesterday (7/10) at a brisk pace.
We wound up with 16.85 average. Maybe a bit disappointing.
However, when all the slowdowns for cross streets and driveways are taken into account,
I guess we did alright.
I had done a pretty fast 30 mile solo on the rolling terrain around my home, so I wasn't the freshest.
Met a few other riders also.
All in all, a great outing.
I did notice, however, more debris on the Trace in the way of branches and pine cones.
Also quite a number of low branches that are annoying at best, or hazardous at worst.
These hang down over the pavement and are low enough to hit me square in the face!
Hopefully, some manicuring is in the offing...........
