Fast ride today, well, fast for me anyway... I rode from Yonkers to White Plains for a distance of 20 miles with an average speed of 16 mph, a new personal record. If I lived in the flatland's I'd have a lot faster times... when I'm on flat stretches I average 19 - 21 mph+, but just like life, there's gotta be bumps in the road... you gotta endure the uphills to enjoy the downhills and you gotta endure the uphills to enjoy the view from the top also.
I spread out my pre-ride carbs a bit, I had a banana 2 hours before my ride and then another banana half hour before, along with a handful of almonds... that might have helped a bit to keep me going at the end, while my bike computer was going from 16.3 mph avg. down to 16. I was pedaling hard to keep the reading above 16, and in the end I did.
Ok, I'm beat... time to take care of a few things and then shower & eat... have a great day all.
