"Just 41 miles?"

At mile 25 yesterday I was in full auto-whine mode. "How to they do it, those folks at BF? They pull 40-50 milers at the drop of a helmet and I feel like I'm going to die".

41 miles is just a long way, especially on a new bike. I agree (as always) with Stapfam.

NB: when I finished my 32 miler yesterday, I pulled the stats on MotionBased: 32 miles, 2692 ft climbing, max grade of 20%. I didn't feel so bad about the whole thing after all.
