Steve, I've ridden 55 and 65 mi on this bike this year, but a 38 mi ride is enough to find those little annoying circulation pinches. Long is relative. Especially on an upright, add a good headwind (18-22 kt earlier this week) and 26 mi is a long ride.
I totally agree with that. It's all about your frame of reference. This year, the randonneuring lists were all about getting ready for Paris-Brest-Paris, and 1200 km randonnees; and fine tuning position based on a 40 mile ride won't necessarily provide answers that will hold up at that kind of distance - or, in my experience, even to the 80 - 100 mile range, never mind brevet distances.
Not that I'm suggesting I could do centuries on an upright, regardless of the wind. I can't. For me, uprights are strictly short-range.
