40 mile bike ride

I joined the Clocktower group bicycle ride today. But I also rode my bike 5.85 miles to the start and then of course home 5.85 miles. That's why my total was 40. The group rode about 28 miles. It was a great ride. The leader took us some back roads to the City Market area for breakfast. I liked the urban ride, especially with virtually no traffic. It was a bit cold, but I was pleased with how I dressed and felt pretty good the whole time.

I did notice that I took the hills really well. I guess the Hilly experience and training are still with me.

My moving speed averaged 10.9 mph. Not bad for a relaxing ride. This group rides all year. I'm not sure how many cold days I'll do it, but maybe.
