Doubled the Distance

Hello All:

I rode yesterday for 1.5 hours and covered the Denville/Boonton/Mountain Lakes trek and did the loop twice. I figure approximately 20 miles since I went from my home.

The hills seem to be a little bit easier as I am increasing my stamina. I am going to incorporate shorter rides in between my longer training rides in hopes that I can increase my speed and build on my endurance. I need to work on tackling those hills as I am sure that the ride in September will have a fair share of hills and I refuse to resort to walking!!!

Beautiful weather

Hello everyone, beautiful weather yielded an 18 mile ride yesterday in 1-1/2 hours. Any suggestions on whether I should be getting in more miles or working towards faster time? Also, what level of hills are to be expected in UK?
