Which part did you leave out?Originally Posted by maillotpois
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".

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

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".

Yesterday I did 55.5 miles in 4:30. That is the furthest I've yet ridden, and in the first half of that there were several very steep hills. Short, but hard to see how much steeper they could have been.
Am trying not to stress over my speed. I am slowly getting faster and right now endurance and finding/unleashing my inner hill-climbing beast seems more important.
Today have no route planned - I need a recovery ride so am just going to go wherever my bike wants to go
