A 40-mile extended loop ride that included a visit to the Busse Woods. My longest ride since July 8, 2012. I started my ride at 12:56 and returned home at 5:30 p.m. Skies were mostly sunny with temperatures in the upper 60s with moderate easterly winds. I wore Livestrong jersey and shorts with leg and arm warmers. Toward the end of the ride, I suffered leg cramping in my right hamstring . . . and then my left hamstring. Fortunately, I was able to dismount, stretch, and walk off the problem.
