My ride of choice today. Lake Huron in the background along with a freighter if you look closely.
I set out this morning on my mtb to do a double century, figuring the weather would be nice. I planned on heading over to Port Huron and up the coast before heading inland and back. Things were going well at first but the route was almost 100% in the sun and I started to feel the effects so I ended up cutting my ride short. I only did 177 miles in just under 10.5 hours. The first hundred I was able to complete in just over 5.5 hours but then the sun effect started kicking in plus the return was into the wind (naturally). I think if I had been on a road bike I might have been able to complete it before feeling so bad. Maybe I'll try again when the weather cools off.

Nice work. It's tough in the heat, and you know a roadbike double century wouldn't count.
Looks like there is a little thing going on now about who has the longest training ride...
Hmm, I don't know if I want to get in to that contest. It would be a tough call between you and Robert.
