发帖数: 164 | 1 I have done a few ride around 40 miles this summer, but stopped riding as I
started to run more. A knee injury a couple of weeks ago forced me to stop
running for a while, which made me feel restless and decide to go for a long
ride. I have always wanted to ride to the western end of the beautiful
Illinois Prairie Path and to check out the Fox River trail which connects to
the Prairie Path, so I set out on my hybrid bike to do a 4:30 ride (timed
to get home before dark.)
In my previous rides, I just brought water and always felt out of gas and
starving at 40 miles. This time, I ate 7 GU gels and 1 Cliff bar along the
way and didn't feel hungry at all. Rode roughly 45 miles on Prairie Path
which is mostly crushed limestone and 16.5 miles on Fox River trail and
streets (paved). Total elevation gain was 1944ft according to Google map (not sure how accurate that is.) It took me around 4:34 to finish and I had to ride the last few miles in the dark. Overcast with drizzle from time to time and the
leaves are all gone, the view along prairie path is still nice though and
Fox river is just beautiful. It would've probably been even better a few
weeks ago with fall colors. It was a pretty windy day and riding against
20mph headwind was brutal for me, but overall I felt much better than I did
after my previous 40 mile rides.
I didn't think much about my distance until I saw Rayfalls mentioned metric
century in his post. Turns out I did a 99km ride. Oh well ... | y*****y
