I did it! 41 miles on Saturday and 41 miles today! It was even more windy than it was yesterday, but this time the wind was worse on the trip out (it was nearly non-existant when you were going south.
This was a mixed blessing. While my average speed was substantially less than normal on the way up, on the way bay we more than made up for it. On the southern end of the ride I actually saw 7 miles that were averaged over 20mph. While I thought I would end up bonking, I stayed through it and was rewarded with my fastest 40 mile average to date.
We changed up the ride a bit today, instead of returning to the lot we proceeded to the southern terminus of the trail and returned back up. At this point it is where Alex went to his car (around 33 miles) and I kept going. There were several points where I thought my legs were going to explode, but then on the return trip I ended up with three of my fastest average miles to date.
Next weekend I will be going on a group ride in Clermont - with options to do 35 or 65 miles. The distance isnt a worry but the hills are...we shall see.
