I rode the creek loop 6-7 times. I planned on riding 20 miles today. The last time I did 20 miles it was 1hr 47?min. I'm happy! I cut 10 min. off of my time. It was only a little bit windy so I didn't have too hard of a time. I also didn't switch gears. I kept it in a harder gear so I had to stand up on the uphills. The first loop around I wanted to keep it around 12 mph. The second loop I wanted to keep it above 14mph. The third I did another 12 mph but I lost some energy so I ate 2 shot blocks and drank some water and 1/2 a loop later I felt more energy. There were people on the trail the whole way but I only had to stop twice because on people not moving over.
I rode through the neighborhood once to make my 20 actual miles. When I got home I put my bike up, poured some water, got my dog on my leash and went out to walk for my cool down. We walked about 1/2-3/4 of a mile. She wanted to run the whole time but I had to keep her back to a walk so I could actually do a cool down. Then I went home, stretched while my lean cuisine meal was in the microwave...yep..that was my evening.
I feel good having 27 miles done and it's only 2 days into the week. I keep having a 50 mile week goal. This week I might make it. I've been just 5 miles away from that. I made a June goal of 50 miles for week one and add 5 miles per week for the month.
