MapMyRide.com - General Road Cycling: Old Saybrook Ride - 106 miles on 08/21/2010
Being the last weekend before school starts, I wanted to end it with something really big, and I did! I went from Wethersfield, my home, to Old Saybrook beach and back, 106 miles, nearly 10,000 KCals, and 7 1/2 hours in the saddle...Ouch! I managed to do the ride into Saybrook without an issue, but the ride home was a different story. I guess when I planned the route, one of the roads on that route was particial unpaved, so I had to double back a go the long way round. This cost me about 10 miles and maybe 40 minutes, because those miles were very tough and hilly. I could have just gone up 148 from Chester, and made it in less time and miles, most importantly less pain! However, it all worked out for the best. I did over 100 miles, my yearly goal, and made it without an issue. No flats, no crashes, and most importantly no pain or injury! NICE!
Next challenge...The 2 ferry ride!
