today i went on my first group ride since my accident last year. it was too early for me to be nervous about it. surprised at how difficult i'm finding it to get my mileage up.
today (sunday) about 40 miles in westchester and fairfield counties. took the train up to westchester and returned home via connecticut. the best possible choice on a warm day.

Did a 50 miler yesterday, longest ride yet since coming back off of the ankle injury. Really wanted to do 60, but I overslept and didn't leave till 7:30. The South Florida heat was to much for me to continue. By the time I hit the turn around point for the 50 miles I was almost done with both water bottles, and I had about 10 miles until I got to a place to refill. So I turned around, stopped at 7-11 on the way home, got some gatorade and mixed it with 50% water in both water bottles. Good ride overall, felt like I could of done the 60 leg wise, just not heat wise. Every time I got stopped at a light, or the time I got stopped at a draw bridge, the intensity of the heat really hit me! Averaged 18mph before cool down, 17.7 with cool down, pretty happy!
