Florida Day 5: Easy 20, no garmin

Well with no way to tell how far or fast I went today, I bet I went much slower.  No constant challenge from the speed and cadence indicators.  From calculations from maps I bet I did between 15 and 20 miles at around 16+- 2 mph.  At the end of the ride, I caught another cyclist on Vanderbuilt and road his six until Pop's house.  It took me about 2 miles to catch him and I bet I was doing better than 23mph to do it.  Good sprint! 
I ordered a new Garmin and should be in CT by the end of the week, hopefully. 
Have to bring the bike back today, sad to say no ride tomorrow.  Going to play golf this afternoon and cannot wait.  Be back tomorrow night in CT :(

Florida Ride Day 4: Long and fast...Lost Garmin! MAN!

OK today was a long and fast ride out to Bonita Springs, down to golf shore drive south and back to pops.  I figure about 35 to 40 miles.  Ended up riding with two other riders, one caught me, we caught the other.  I was averaging about 19-20 when the guy caught me, and we managed that till I dropped them at Golf shore South about 25 miles or so.  Lost my garmin crossing 41 south of my dad's place.  There we speed bumps on the walking path, and it must have jared the garmin loose.  The new mount was loose to begin with, and was leary of using it...:(
Great ride but costly in the long run.  Would have been my personal best long and possibly speed ride. BUMMER>
