I rode 20.5 miles today! Not much for many of you, but it's 6 miles longer than I've gone before. I never have a block of time that I can set aside to ride that is more than 45 min - 1h. I found the time today and headed out for 1h23m (yah yah I'm precise, ok?). The wind was blowing pretty hard at 15 sustained with stronger gusts. I still only rode in town, so there were lots of turns and stops signs with cars, but I still maintained pretty good speed and didn't get hit by any cars - although one almost nailed me. In the straight sections (sometime with the wind helping me) - I was maintaining anywhere from 17-20 mph. (the wind was involved in the 20 mph). I felt great..... except for that lousy stock saddle that came with my Pilot. Ooh that thing is torturous. I really need to try something new. I can't make up my mind which one to get.

The only reason I stopped was because my girly bits were numb and in tremendous pain all at the same time and my right foot kept falling asleep. My legs felt great and could've kept going. Ugh! Frustrating, but I'm still elated at the 20 miles! And while I was gone, mr. fish turned a wood pen for me Happiness! Now - I'm headed out with my daughter so she can do her laps around the neighborhood on her bike.
