First 50-miler of the season this weekend.

This weekend has been superlative: sunny and temps in the 70s.   On Saturday I rode my 50-mile loop though Harvard, down to Northboro, then back up the Assabet rail trail in Marlboro/Hudson, then up to Stow, Boxboro and home to Littleton.   Average time for the ride was a little disappointing -- less than 15 mph.  The hills around here are pretty tough, so I'll use that as my excuse..  At least I have a level-set and have left myself  some room for improvement on my training... Don't want to peak too soon.  :-)

On the up-side, no soreness at all so my off-season conditioning hasn't been a complete waste.  I just need to lose some "luggage" and log more miles.   Wish I had some pix to post.  Will try to start carrying a camera with me.
