I’ve been experimenting with different ride lengths, riding at different times of day, in different temperatures, and it seems that riding between 10-20 miles on a 70-85F degree day is best for me if I want to try to control my pain levels (Yesterday I rode 30 miles, and discovered that it might be a bit far for me).

Tomorrow I have a nice, special book giveaway; but today I kvetch. If you’ve noticed I’ve been quiet, it’s for 3 reasons:…
MacGyvering HoTN Together
