I'm still stuck on "only 30 miles" left in your ride after doing 85! My wimpy bod is in awe.

As always V an inspiring ride report.
Next time I feel tired on one of my piddly rides I will think of you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

I had a commute with about 15 miles of severe brake rub recently and those fifteen miles made me cry. When I stopped and checked it, the tire wouldn't even move unless pressed hard. It sucks when you find that out, eh? The screw that holds the caliper in place was loose, and the cable was pushing the brake over.
So, I admire your fortitude. You kicked ash!I can do five more miles.

I just did my first 25 miles on Sunday and my knees are stilling fussing at me. The rest of me feels great, though. Maybe in a year or so I'll be up to a century, but a double century? All in one day? Wow. I don't even know how far 200km is. Ha!
