Yesterday I rode with a number of friends to Riis Park, then back around Jamaca bay to home. All around, about 39 miles. Today, my friend 'Coach' Lisa and I rode up to Nyack and back. That was somewhat over a metric century round trip. So, between the two days, a little over 100 miles.
Two things that I learned, going uphill when loaded with 60lbs of gear, there's a lot more pressure on my knees on the uphills. Also, I have resigned myself to the fact that I will be crossing the country at an average of 14 miles an hour.
