10,000 miles

Did about 30 miles on the greenway in Raleigh on Saturday. Neuss River Trail. Never crossed a road.
tell me about this trail...are they cinder or paved? I come your way often and would bring my bike for that type of mileage...we have a few trails around here but they tend to cross roads along the way
Talk about saddle soreness ... 30 miles on the flat would do me in! When I'm riding single track, 2/3 of the time I'm off the saddle ... and for our adventure rides on ebikes, it's usually a long climb followed by a long descent out of the saddle. So kudos to you (and your bum).
awesome! I was wondering if my road bike would work or if I need my mountain bike...paved is the ticket lol!
see man I am just the opposite...my back starts to kill me on single track rides b/c I am standing up almost the entire time...I look forward to the climbs lol just to get saddle time...I can sit on my road bike for hours without too much pain but then again I wear bike bis with pretty good chamois...I don't get too sore...but I also ride a peloton 5-6 times per week and those rides are 100% in the saddle (I don't do the normal spinning type rides as I do the longer endurance style)
There are some occasional small hills to get you out of the saddle. But it's no mountains that's for sure.
Knocked 53 this morning. I am beat. fist part was good, but heat kicked in towards the end.
53 miles in heat is rough if you aren't super hydrated for days going into it....were you on the trail? Road bike I presume?
My longest ride in many years. I used to ride a bunch many years ago. But my neighbor has been reeling me back into it. felt good to get out there.
It was on roads. It wasn't bad to start. Around 75. e finished around noon and the last hour you could definitely feel the heat. Especially once the pavement arms up and radiates back to you. Y
On vacation on the Central Coast of Oregon and found a nice punchy loop of single track to session - two downhills, one flowy and one more technical, with a pair of long climbs to get back to the top. Good workout! About 7 miles per loop.
7 miles on a moutain trail is a long way lol...I remember when I first went after being solely a road cyclist I was shocked at how short/hard it was! Sounds like you had a good spot!
