260 Days to Go: Breaking the 50 mile barrier
Ok, this was some serious effort. I am guessing my body isn’t quite ready for this distance. My last ride on this route was almost exactly 40 miles but the problem is that puts you on the top of the Lucky Peak hill, so to go further you have to go down the backside, and once you start down the backside, it’s fast and fun and before you know it you’ve really hosed yourself. So too pretty decent climbs plus a strong headwind on the way back really set me up for a difficult ride. By the time I got back I was officially done. It was also pretty cold. I think the fair weather riding conditions are a thing of the past. Hello winter.
