Notes
CLR9: Long Bike (4 hrs @ steady moderate intensity)
Very happy with this effort. I met up with the CK group and did a 25 mile loop with them. I'd planned to do another 50 miles after the group ride with Jacob and Aaron, but David Brooks joined up with us as well. We were hoping to maintain about an 18.5mph pace for the entire ride. The route seemed to work out very well and gave us a good opportunity for a nice amount of uninterrupted riding (not many lights or traffic). The last 5 miles or so were a little rough on Independence when it went down to 1 lane...my bad. I definitely seemed to hit a distance wall around 60 miles and had to fight through that mentally. Overall, the nutrition and fluid intake seemed to work pretty well though. Most of all, I really enjoyed the fellowship with Aaron, Jacob, and David.
