Sean, Rob and I headed out to Nelson Island today to add some mileage and more time in the saddle. We didn't get in the mileage we wanted yesterday at the clock tower ride, so we decided to ride again today.
We kind of toyed with the idea of a 40 miler, but changed our minds when we came to a low bridge where the water was higher than we were comfortable with. Actually, due to some super steep up and down hills that taxed us physically, we though it best to shorten the mileage, so we made our turn around at that bridge.
On the way out we noticed what looked like a new alternate route, but since Rob nor I were familiar with it, we decided to stick to the old main trail. We took the alternate route on our return trip and discovered that it eliminated all the super steep up and down hills! It made a huge difference! I don't know when they constructed that alternate trail, but it sure made it a lot more bike friendly!
For me I clocked an even 30 miles at an average of 11.4 mph and topping out at 21.8 mph at some point.
Weather was very favorable with some wind on occasion.
