I rode 45+ miles today solo. My longest ride prior was just under 30 miles. I hit Macclesfield, Pinetops, Town Creek, Elm City, and back through Silver Lake/New Hope. Here is the route approximately: http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/nc/wilson/129125451910329548
I'm not sure if I'll be doing that again too soon, by the end i was definitely hurting, but what choice did I have but to keep going then? The ride total with stopping at 2 convenient stores (gatorade) in Pinetops and Elm City took me 3 hours and 36 minutes. I also had my first fall today with my fairly new SPD pedals. (rode 3 times) I was trying to get onto 58 near the end of my ride and was really tired. I'm honestly not sure what happened, but I fell. I had on a long sleeve jersey which didn't tear and I didn't really end up with road rash. It did hurt, but was mostly just embarrassing. I hope to make one of the group rides soon, but wont be able to make it tomorrow.
