I usually go on a Saturday morning shop ride that's about 50 miles. If I'm able to get out of the house early (which is becoming rarer all the time), I can get 70 or more before lunch. Tonight after work I'm going on a ride which will probably be 35 with a super-intense section. My only goal is to hang on to the lead group.
My ride in was nice but not as long as I'd hoped. Dang creaky stairs woke my daughter so rather than head out early, I made waffles and hung out with La Contessa while her brother and mom slept. That was nice too.
Rode the CF bike so I can head to the aforementioned group ride after work. Nearly got right hooked by a young kid in Daddy's nice pickup (you Californians and Texans know the kind I mean). I cursed him good but in hindsight I think he honestly misjudged my speed. Still a JAM, just not intentionally malicious.
