First 112 Miler of the Season



07:30:57 AM: Going long today. Listening to audiobook Bonk about sex and science. About an hour into ride and topic of said book plus spandex has not been an issue. Taking it very easy today. Forgot to start heart rate mon so won't have accurate time for today... which is great... no numeric pressure to hit any specific pace. Getting hot today so I want to get as many miles in early as possible. So far it's a ghost town on the comet. I'm at mile 20.

08:12:43 AM: At big tunnel mile 31. Ride going as planned. Humid out.

08:46:05 AM: Out past rockmart at what used to be the end of the comet trail before they paved it all the way to alabama. Warming up.

09:54:16 AM: At halfway point of today's ride... 56 miles. Went harder last hour. Shouldn't have given the hole of pain I always find the first long ride of the season. Definitely warming up as the morning haze burns off. Listening to Garden State soundtrack now.

10:59:19 AM: mile 72 of ride, only way home is to pedal my happy ass the 40 mi back. sun out, warm, humid. garden state soundtrack on the ipod.

10:59:58 AM: old aviator sunglass dude spotted. he's always out here.

12:17:29 PM: mile 92, short 20 to go. balls hot out, or feels that way. i smell like ammonia... protein breakdown. rage against the machine on the ipod.

01:30:34 PM: 112 miles done in a little under six hours... no explosions or drama... good stuff.
