It took me 5 hours to get there...
I rode around the park for maybe 20 minutes before heading back to the entrance to sit and rest after the long 74 mile ride. I sat and finished my coffee and reveled in the days accomplishment.

We did about 20 miles. All in all it was a great day to be in the saddle.
The OP does not indicate his location, but
I think it would be amusing to post your ride description on that thread to show BF how hardy we Metro Bostonians are, and
rebut those sunny-faced cyclists' patronizing attitudes,e.g.especially with a chilly photo of the bare trees.
