Did 42 miles in 2hrs 37 mins. Not breaking any speed records, but felt good. Will go for 50 tomorrow... working my way up to my long ride of 80+ next week.
Great news, my new bike just came in and I should be able to get it tomorrow afternoon... there will be about a 13 pound difference in weight and I'm thinking I should feel that. If I can drop another 15 pounds off of my caboose before game day (June 4th), that will make a big difference too... if not, I might have to get the supersized seat!
Worst part of my ride ... following behind a raw sewage pump truck for a mile or so. Nothing like the smell of diesel mixed with human waste filling my lungs as I'm cranking up a hill.
Best Part of my ride ... still having plenty of juice left in me for the last 20 miles.
Inspiration: Took this shot with the sun coming up, burning off the morning mist, and the cows chomping away at the grass. A lot better than riding the train from New Carrollton Metro!
(BIG thank you to Stu and and his team at Parvilla Bicycle in Edgewater, Maryland. Really great bike shop and these guys know their stuff!)
