    It is. I was only planning on 40, but that would have left me 2 miles short of my car. When I hit 40, though, I did let go of a "Yahoo!"

    Now, today, I am sore, sore, sore. Legs, hips, and surprisingly my arms. Didn't feel like this at 37, so I guess as I hit these higher distances I need to be ready to get into recovery mode.

    Way to go!!!

    You'll be way more than ready by May. You could do it now, but will do it pretty easily with a few more months of riding. It's so awesome to pass milestones. All the big and even small goals are a great motivation to get on the bike. Sometimes just trying to ride a small segment faster than I ever have before gets me all excited to go ride when I'm not feeling so much like going.
    GO RIDE YOUR BIKE!!!

    I find I'm very competitive even with myself. I try not to be, try to just pedal and get it done, but I find myself pushing my average speed, longest distance, etc. I suppose at some point that will have to stop because there are only so many miles of road on this earth. This weekend I may "only" get to squeeze in 20 miles and I so disappointed LOL.
