Most of my rides are either 10 or 20 miles - no more.
Arthritis in my wrists and left knee really act up when I do more.
I need to watch my shifting - tending toward pedal rate rather than torque.
Again, comfort is the key.
On the C & O Canal, adjacent to the Patomac River, I use my recumbent.
No hills, no pressure on the wrists.
