I increased my personal long distance record today! I put in 65 miles! I planned out a loop almost 22 miles long right around my house, so I could take a break at the house after every loop. I'm diabetic and have been having problems with my levels on my rides, so I wanted to stay close for this one.
The wind kicked up to about a steady 15mph with gusts to 22 or so the last loop, which sucked. But I only had it in my face for about 1/3 of the way each loop.
Took me a total of 5 hours and 11 minutes--just over 12 mph average. Not bad, I think, given I'm still riding my 5 year old Raleigh Hybrid and just started riding in April.
