Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

However, although i'm a slow rider (14-18 average), I can't seem to build enough endurance to ride more than 35 miles (about two hours) at a time (generally I ride straight through, no stops). Any help to build my endurance to ride longer and further? I'm not looking to increase speed as much as I am to increase the time of the ride.
What are you doing for inride nutrition. On a 2 hr ride, you are likely depleting your glycogen stores and need a couple of hundred calories to regenerate!
