Florida sun

Almost did...just rechecked the trip computer on the bike and actual
pedaling time was 6:30...72sm/62nm, very close to 10 kts. We have a
great paved bicycle/jogging trail here in Pinellas County, Florida.
34 miles long from Tarpon Springs (where I live) to St. Petersburg.
There are eight riding overpasses over the main highways and 4-way stops
at the lessor streets. http://www.pinellastrail.com/
Density altitude was a little high....93 Degrees and Percent. :-)

I used to ride bikes alot, but not to that extreme. I'm only 40 and I
would even try that, I don't like hot sun...

Happy Happy Bob.

That 6:30 is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!

Boston Marathon Winners are around 2:10. So that's three Boston Marathons -
back(1) to back(2) to back(3) = 6:30. Distance, at 72 miles, is darn near
three marathons, too. Wow!

Biking a marathon is MUCH easier than riding one! I rode 29 miles on
Memorial Day weekend in 90 degrees and sun. I was pretty beat as it was
my first ride of the year, but I can't run one mile let alone 26.
However, riding 26 isn't hard at all. Well, it IS hard on the derriere
the first few times of the season.

Fortunately, Bob lives where the season is all year so he can keep his
derriere callouses in good shape! :-)

Right about that...location and callouses. :-)

What's the difference?

Did you ever ride a horse for that length of time? Talk about saddle
sores.
