    20 miles today for the first time! (squeeee!)....got up this morning, went out at 6am, did my usual ten, came home got the kids to daycare, DH to dentist then suddenly decided that I felt good enough and wanted to do it again! So I went out and did 10 more miles, started around 10am (not used to riding when the sun is up lol-forgot sunscreen!) and, I might be crazy but...it was even easier than the earlier ride!! My average mph was even higher than the early morning ride-I was averaging 11mph easily and hit 13mph a few times...
    Now that I know I can, I'm gonna try and do it a couple times a week to keep things interesting!
    I texted DH to tell him...hmmm maybe *now* I'll get that road bike for my birthday....LOL

    Way to go! I thought I would die when I did my first 20. Looks like you handled it with ease.

    Good for you! I have yet to get in my first 20. I need to find a good place to ride around here.

    That's awesome. I'm still working on getting to 10. Had some bike issues, and hopefully when I get my bike out of the shop I will be all set. Congrats!!
