My ride on Sat.
 

I went on my first ride since early August this past Saturday.

Just 15 miles. 7mph rolling average, 3 hours total time. Good to get some time in the saddle.

is that normal?

3 hours seems like a long time to ride a bike 15 miles.

I sometimes take 10 or 12 hours to ride my bike 15 miles. Of course, that includes a work day in the middle of my 7.5 mile commute.

For someone with your level of fitness, I would think you could do it in 2 hours.

I can only imagine what it would be like to ride a bike for several hours.

You only work part-time? Who knew!

This is a sarcastic post, unless you're doing a mountain climb as that's a forty-five minute ride. Did that include lunch and talking to friends?

Nope. No lunch.

What lots of drive time to the ride and chat time afterwards, or waiting for others to arrive?

Nope. I already said it was a 7mph rolling average.
