RE: 60 miles / 96.5 km is pretty far to ride a bike

Wow, that was a long, hot, and gorgeous ride! I love being around trees and water :) I noticed your story resteemed on the #cyclefeed page and am looking forward to following you and hearing about more of your adventures. Thanks for sharing the love of cycling!

Glad you enjoyed my ride/post. Cycling has so many positive things associated with it which is why it is so addictive for some people. It's just times like the ride above which makes it very tough at times.

I agree! Each summer for the past three years I rode a century (100 miles in a day). One year it was a really hot day and I needed more breaks. It's a fun tradition for me and feels great to accomplish. This year I'm hoping to choose a day with cooler weather for my fourth annual century.

Wow you have endurance. The most I have ever ridden is 83 miles and I was toast after that. There was quite a bit of climbing too. I've heard that supported rides make it easier...
