Bob, you are making us look bad! You could have maintaned atleast 10 knots! :-) Almost did...just rechecked the trip computer on the bike and actual pedaling time was 6:30...72sm/62nm, very close to 10 kts. We have a great paved bicycle/jogging trail here in Pinellas County, Florida. 34 miles long from Tarpon Springs (where I live) to St. Petersburg. There are eight riding overpasses over the main highways and 4-way stops at the lessor streets. http://www.pinellastrail.com/ Density altitude was a little high....93 Degrees and Percent. :-) Bob |

That 6:30 is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Boston Marathon Winners are around 2:10. So that's three Boston Marathons - back(1) to back(2) to back(3) = 6:30. Distance, at 72 miles, is darn near three marathons, too. Wow! http://lostinthepast.shunpike.net/a/break/braw115.jpg Breaking Away (1979) Montblack |

I rode 29 miles on Memorial Day weekend in 90 degrees and sun. I was pretty beat as it was my first ride of the year, but I can't run one mile let alone 26. However, riding 26 isn't hard at all. Well, it IS hard on the derriere the first few times of the season. Fortunately, Bob lives where the season is all year so he can keep his derriere callouses in good shape! :-) Matt |
