On Thursday mornings, I ride alone. Stephen often reminds me when we’re riding together that however far “out” I go, I have to return too! Without his wisdom, I can push myself and ride as far out as I think I can get back from. So, I do. For the last two Thursdays, I’ve ridden from our house to Highway 6, which is roughly 9.75 miles away. Then I turn around and head back. Once I get back into the north side of our neighborhood, I loop around the neighborhood enough to get my odometer all the way to 20 miles.
When I get back to the house, I drink a glass of Ovaltine, shower and take myself off to work. The first time I did it, I barely made it through my evening class. But I did better last week. I’m planning on adding 5 miles to my route this week and seeing if I can break the average 13 mph mark.
I’ll let you know how it turns out!
