107 km. Woo!
@Downes there must be more story to tell here? Do you have pictures? Did you need a rest day after that? Do you do great thinking on such a long ride - or just enjoy the clarity of the air?
@Downes@mastodon.social@lauraritchie You ask about what I'm thinking about on such a ride. Most of it is focused on the ride itself, watching ahead, managing my pace, staying hydrated. When I have other thoughts, they're fleeting, and then it's back to the ride. I'm always listening to things on the earbuds (a 3-hour episode of TWIG, NPRs On the Media, music) but it's just background. The beauty of the rides is that I can clear my mind, not think about the weightier issues, just be in the moment. Cycling forces that..
