How's your cycling? Today was a really good day for me. [View all]

I have been doing longer rides. Mostly I have been riding the same route, u turning and doing it up to 3 times staying on local county roads. After my warm up I took a road less traveled, by me anyway. This was a ride that I use to do regularly back in the day, 32 miles. I don't remember how my earlier times but 1 hr 45 minutes sounds right. Did it in 1 hr 55 minutes. Not bad for an old duffer. I recently added the app Mapmyride on my phone and it showed 636 feet of climbing. I know that I had some fun descends into creek bottoms with a good workout climbing out.

Last Friday I rode 25 miles with a group of guys around my age. It was a lot of fun getting to ride with others. Our ride leader is very attentive to the others and all of them were taking care of me. They probably wouldn't tell me but that's what I think. Anyway I am looking forward to riding with them come this Friday.
