I was just going to ask what your plans are.
My highest goal is a 40 mile ride. No intention of riding a century. I'm confident I can do a 40, as I've already done 33, 27, and 26 mile rides and those were all on gravel trails. I suspect a 40 on asphalt might even be easier than the 33 I've already done on gravel.
Around these parts 40 isn't a high number, but the percentage of people out of the general population who have done a 40 mile bike ride is pretty low. That's good enough for me.
Unless at some point where I get in to good enough condition, and have a faster bike, and perhaps a 50 miler is easier than a 30 is now for me. If that happens, it happens, but it isn't a goal. Hey, I'm thrilled that I hit a max of 33, done three 25+ rides, and did 53 in two days. Last year I thought that impossible.
