Yeah my brother and nephew drove all the way from Houston to ride with me. We just didn't feel comfortable riding on a major highway with cars splashing us along the way as well as the railroad crossings. I have a route I ride 15 mile laps on and completed a 60 mile ride while training for this ride. I will continue to train in the next couple of months and I think we may try the Katy Flatland metric distance. I will just keep riding and working toward that goal. Eventually I want to do a full century.
