Another burb loop, both sub- and ex-, was originally intending to 40+ but at around 23 started dreading the rest and so cut it short(er). Rule has always been that riding has to be fun and when it becomes a chore, end it. After THAT decision, it became a lot more enjoyable, even when dealing with Saturday 'burbs traffic (really wasn't TOO bad) and riding through 'burb 'hoods. Got a 50-miler in two weeks but am putting all the mileage eggs in next week's basket when it's supposed to be sunny and cooler and 30+ after work is doable and then the weekend for a 45-ish ride before the 50. Body felt pretty good despite the climb from 13.5 and then the loonnnnngggg one starting at 16. Cardio good; legs recovered nicely and had no trouble with the climb at 28. Posture still sucks, so neck continues to be a bother.
