Planned for a shorter ride but felt really strong ...... took a bit more nutrition with me and when I got to 15 miles thought whats 10 more before turning around. I also tweaked my bike a tad based on a video I found here. Moved the seat back some and lowered it a tiny bit. Also tried super hard to improve my elbow bend and not lock out my arms. Helped quite a bit in the neck pain department.

Felt stronger at the finish but was most likely the result of a tailwind. Really gonna try for that 100K next weekend if the weather is good.

I do gotta say that my broke ass leg was giving me a little trouble at the end but is nothing compared to my neck.
I think longer rides will probably require some rest breaks and careful planning. The neurosurgeon said the position itself will not hurt me but will probably get uncomfortable. He is right!!
