I did it!

Ok, so I did it!


37.67 miles (bike computer) or 36.62 (GPS) - either way, I still passed 35. This is the longest ride so far on the new bike and my longest of this season.

It was a pretty good ride. I left early and the roads and path were pretty empty except for serious cyclists. There are some significant hills between my house and the start of the bike path but once I hit the path, it's pretty flat. This is both good and bad. The good part is no uphills. The bad part is no downhills. It's just pedal, pedal, pedal with no breaks. By the time I got back to end of the path and back to the hilly part, I was actually glad for the change. But the other upside is being able to just ride and not worry about cue sheets, traffic, etc. So, I guess I'll stick with the this for longer rides and work in hills in shorter rides.

I think the next goal will be 42 miles. Maybe next weekend or the following one. I'd like to hit 50 by July 3rd. We'll see.

Happy riding!
