I rode my longest ride yet, just over 68 miles. Yipee! Best part is I felt really good afterwords and still doI was a little concerned since I did a 12 mile mtn bike ride yesteday with some long climbs and it was HOT today. I averaged 16.3 mph, which I am very happy about.
The interesting thing is, I was able to keep a higher than usual cadence, 90-100 rpm. Normally, I get super tired and have difficulty breathing at the cadence. It was a great day, aside from temperature getting 95 degrees! My new polar bottle was awesome today. Too bad I didn't have the opportunity to get ice at any of our rest stops! Some cold water on the way back would have been really nice.
