Pushed my Sunday long-bike back to Monday, so Hilary and I got up early Monday morning to head out. 90 minutes is by no means an exceptionally difficult distance from a muscle fatigue point of view, but from a butt-fatigue point of view, it's where I get pretty uncomfortable.
Anyway, we rode on the back roads up to Hodges, then turned around and came back by home. It was about an hour ride round-trip, just short of 15 miles. I peeled off and rode another 8.5 miles in 30 minutes and completed my ride. It was around 8:00 when I was back, and it was getting hot. Gonna be that way this summer, I think.
Very good ride - steady effort, and I'm really getting better at gearing and being smart in how I climb and how I ride the few consistent level areas around here. It was a nice, easy pace and allowed me simply to work on pedal efficiency and form. Good day!
