gorgeous coolish day here, I rode 23 miles on my plain old loop I always do (though it's not that plain, it has nice views all around). It's got hills and lots of promise for a longer route, but I'm stuck doing a route I know so that my time out and back is predictable. Next ride I'm adding on mileage. I'm tired of 23 miles. I'd like a few more, and I'd really love a group ride. *sigh* I'm in a lot better shape now than I used to be, and esp the hills don't really bother me so much anymore. dh stayed home with the baby and I returned to a marathon nap that let me shower alone *and* dry off and get dressed alone!! it;s such a treat to get out and ride. Thank goodness for my beauty bike. (I'm also going to take pictures on my next ride!
