Hi folks: I have been wanting to ride the C&O canal(186 miles) in a day for quite a while. I wil attempt this late spring or early summer. I am a daily commuter logging in daily rides of 10-40 miles per day and usually 1 or 2 wknd rides 30-50 miles. Seems the legs feel strong some days and fried other days. I ride hard when they feel great and take it easy when they are tired. With such a huge ride as 186 miles, would it be best to rest for 2, 3 or ???? days before I try the long ride. Anyone who has ridden the long ones and rides daily, what do you do? Rest? Or just keep riding? Thanks, Charlie
