I got in a 44 mile ride yesterday, first longer ride for a few weeks. I arranged to meet a friend on the Nashua River Rail Trail at 9:30 am, so I left at 7:40 and rode the 20 miles to Groton. Very little traffic, so a great ride and a good average speed. Got there early enough to ride 3 miles south down the path and back before my friend arrived. Then we rode north to the end of the rail trail in NH, took a break by a pond, and rode back. I got a ride car home with lunch on the way. Then spent some time making her hybrid bike fit better, including cutting down the bars that were much too wide. When she was happy with the fit, we rode to a local ice cream place and she was delighted with the improvements.
