I rode ~19 miles after work on my mountain bike with two friends. Mostly packed gravel fire roads, some paved greenways, and a couple miles of pretty bumpy, narrow double-track. Great fun! It was hot (90) and humid, but we were in the shade most of the time so not too bad. I did make a mistake in only taking one water bottle (of Accelerade) as I didn't realize we'd be going so far (~2 hours of riding), but I'd had a full ice water before the ride so made it okay.

It was FUNNNNNN!!!
