Went out with the 21mph cycling group on Saturday morning and attempted the 60 miler with them for the first time. Ended up riding 75 miles in total and it took all I had to hang on. Would have been dropped in the last 10 miles if it were not for traffic lights. The ride included a 10 mile solo warmup at 15.9mph, 60 miles with the group at 20.1 mph and a five mile cool down. Overall average was 19.7 mph at 150 HR. Phew.
Rained out Sunday morning but squeezed in 19.4 miles solo at 134 HR and 17.7 mph in the late afternoon.
The club does a century ride to Brazos Bend on Thanksgiving morning at 7 am to get back by noon. 100 miles in 5 hours is not exactly something I am quite ready for. That distance/pace combination will need to be prepared for like a marathon.
I think I am catching a cold. Why do I always get ill for Thanksgiving or Christmas? Weird.
