I went this morning and did the Liberty Hill Lions Rir Roarin' Ride. The weather was very nice, 60 degrees to start and about 80 when I finished. I originally signed up to do 65 but when I got to the split 50 felt like a better choice. The route is rolling and I have not been doing much riding, I didn't want to feel like crap all afternoon if I pushed it too hard. Instead I enjoyed the ride, got home before the temperature could crawl towards 90 and feel like I worked out but not like someone beat me up (that is how long rides sometimes feel). Next year I may do longer, it was a really well run ride that I cannot believe I haven't done before!

49.18 miles (didn't start the computer for the ride to the turn out to start) and a speedy 15.7 mph. I have really been struggling all summer with my riding and averaging about 14 mph on these same roads. Felt good to actually challenge myself and win.
