This afternoon I went out before I had to go pick up Mackenzie from school for my long ride of the week. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to make 4 hours but I figured 3 would be good. I head out to Gloucester, used to do this ride quite a bit and like riding in Gloucester. I wish I had more time to ride up into Rockport as well. So, made it down to Gloucester harbor averaging 18.3 for the first 24 miles, was pretty happy with that. When I started out I figured I would average around that for the whole ride. Started heading back and was feeling pretty good. Looked down and noticed I was at 19mph at the 40 mile point. So I picked it up a little more and did the last 15 miles and ended up at 19.2 for the ride. Felt very good through out the ride.
