170 miles of a double century I really had no business riding because I haven't done one in 3 years and am (for me) pretty out of shape. I had a few of the usual low moments, but it was fun and I was able to help a friend get her CA Triple Crown (3 doubles in a year).
I don't know how long it took me other than "too long".

Considering I am really only riding once a week right now I am happy with my ride. Did a training ride with my IM gal friend who is a rocket. We did 30 miles in 1:45 minutes with four big bridges. Super hot but a nice breeze. I'll take it.

My knees and right hip were screaming at mile 100 (which was weird and I would think new bike fit, but we did much harder and longer rides than that 100 miles in DR training so who knows.). We are leaving for a week long backpacking trip tomorrow and I did not want to kill my legs for some foolish double I am unprepared for, so I told my friend who I was helping get her triple crown (that ride was her third) to go ahead, and then met her after SHE did that lovely Bay Hill/Coleman loop and pulled her the last 50 miles. She got her TC and I had a good day on the bike and saw a LOT of friends.Sarah

Veronica Wow. Give me a low grade climb with a headwind any day.

We picked a fight with every &^#(@ hill in our county yesterday and today. 25 mi yesterday, 20 mi today, 3.000 feet of climbing. My heart says "yay me", my back says "you stink".
