Like Batsheva, I also think it psychs me out. I keep the dern thing on trip distance, not speed, but even that seems to mess with my head. Maybe I'll try elapsed time. Hadn't thought of that.

I really enjoyed not knowing there were still 15 more miles to go. 3 of us were doing the ride, and the mileage was predetermined. The end of the ride came up suddenly, and that was really cool. I still felt fresh. I also ate way more on this ride than any other, so maybe that helped. There was a lot of sugar involved! In any case, today was more fun than anyone should have while on a bike.
