I declared I’ll ride 100 miles on my 60th birthday. I’ve got just 217 days to prepare!
Yesterday I rode 30 miles – a bit much – on the Denver & Rio Grande Rail Trail. The ride was from Clinton to Farmington and back. I rode more than I should have, because I was curious whether the trail had finally been extend to connect with the Legacy Parkway Trail. Indeed it has! I’m very fortunate to have such a trail just a half mile from the house. That makes about 30 miles of connected trail (and 60 miles round trip). I should get to the sixty mile ride before the snow flies!
Here’s yesterday’s 30 mile ride:
Here’s today’s 17 mile ride:
Route on Google Maps
I would love it if you would install Google’s “My Tracks” app on your phone and record your route on your next ride. It would be interesting to see the velocity and elevation graphs – who knows, it might even reveal some interesting stats too. I don’t think the added ~180g your phone contributes should alter your workout or enjoyment.
