Today I destroyed my solo ride distance record.... today my fat a__ peddled 77 miles!!! it took me 4hours and 32 minutes. (with one 15 minute break in the middle) I could have gone for 80... or possibly even 85 but it started getting dark out. While the last 10 miles or so were not the most enjoyable, I still felt great at the end of the ride... got a tiny bit dehydrated at the end (was out of water for the last 10 miles)...
It is an amazing thing when my body is running off a bottomless pit of fat on my body...
"You can't do an endourance sport like distance cycling on a low carb, high fat diet."
Yeah... Right.

Oh yeah, my average was 16.8mph, and i had at least a 10mph head wind for half of the ride.
I've done that ride IN HILLS with a higher average speed on a leisurely day in less time. There's your bonk.
