The first 60 miles felt good, I was pacing myself along at an avg speed of 18mph, the last 33 miles were a struggle battling muscle fatigue, lack of hydration and early stages of cramps and strains.  So I kept it low to keep going.  I did this ride on only 40oz of water and two cliff bars.  For longer rides in the future I’ll need to plan out better fueling strategies.  There’s a variation of this ride that includes all County Road offshoots for 120+ miles.  Oh, the main reason I wanted to comment here was, these long 5-6 hour rides that are sometimes not fun to finish, is what makes me a faster cyclist more than any other training.  I could go out and sprint 40 miles at 20mph+ avg speed on SJI and would not improve.  It’s long hard slower rides that make me a faster rider, more than any other training.
