Today Brian () and I met up at Dodge Park to ride over to Metro Beach. We ended up riding to Metro Beach and back, then Brian headed back home and I rode into the Dodge Park, did an end to end ride of that, then back to my car for a drive home. I was fairly comfortable throughout most of the ride, but I did end up with a bit of sunburn on my arms and a head spotted with slight tan \/ burn from the vents in the helmet.<\/p>\n

The final result, per my bike’s computer, is 41.29 Miles<\/a>. This ride really wasn’t very difficult. The wind and gradual hills weren’t the most fun, and crossing Gratiot and Schoenherr feel risky, but it was quite nice overall. It’s also a completely different feeling from mountain biking, which seems to be more about huge bursts of output followed by nice rolling breaks as opposed to a few hours of relatively consistent pace.<\/p>\n

Here is the KMZ: 24-May-2008_partial.kmz<\/a>. Unfortunately the batteries in the GPS gave out about 1\/4 of the way back from Metro Beach, so it’s only a partial plot. It still illustrates the route between the parks, though. The batteries had reflected 3\/4 charge when I left the house, but clearly that didn’t represent how long they would last.<\/p>\n

Next time I do this route I think I’ll just leave from home and go to Metro Beach and back. That should push it to a 50 mile ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
