[QUOTE=Gavush;7563717]6am Sunday morning 47 mile loop on my mtb - 3 hours even. QUOTE]

Now was that 47 miles on the road, or the trails? In either case, doing it on a mtn bike in 3hrs, that's pretty impressive.

It took me 2:36 to pound out my 43 miles on Saturday (over the road on a road bike); ten miles of which, are uphill at about 6% grade. At least I no longer need to use my granny-gear for any of 'em; something I couldn't say, back when I began biking 4 mos ago.
