Okay. Did a test run today to check things out. I went up to Lincoln to the Mopac trail with DH and son as I'm sick of gravel hills and semi trucks. The trail is relatively flat, easy to ride and no stupid cornfields.

I stopped off at the gas station, picked up a Gatorade, a protein and energy bar and drove to the park. I ate the protein bar about halfway there.

I reset the computer and headed off at around 10 mph taking sips of Gatorade as I went. I made it 4.5 miles without any problems and DH said he needed to head back to the car. He's a weekend warrior and him going that far was really great. I split the energy bar with him and headed back.

I made it the other 4.5 miles back to the car without any problems. DH had to stop and rest a few minutes and we went on. I was a little tired, but not even close to "bonked" when we went back to the car. Son had been sitting there for twenty minutes.

We drove back the hour and 20 minutes back home and I'm doing great.
