building up *my* miles too!

[jusdooit]

Your sit bones will be sore a while as your body gets used to the saddle. Basically you have to callus your behind. Lovely thought I know. Discomfort should go away soon.
+1 on even pedaling. Or it could be your body adjusting to the activity.
Good luck.............ride on

I've also wanted to increase my miles. It got too hot to do this, it worked to break the longer ride into 2 pieces, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. So I think when it starts to get cooler, and it has this week already, I will try to do this. All through my riding, I feel pretty good, no sits bones or leg soreness issues. My lungs feel the workout the most, and I have to use the inhaler before each ride. But hopefully that will also go away as I get more fit. Since I started riding in April, I have shaved a few minutes off my time.

I'm also trying to build up my miles for a 35 mile ride at the end of Sept. I'm wondering does it help your endurance to break long rides up into two parts? I just assumed you had to ride it all together to get the endurance benefits. If riding twice a day is as effective as riding one long ride I'd be all about that

Thanks
