Mar-11: Youngsville, Two-Man Ride

Mar-11

Youngsville: SimsBridge-RockyFord-Gillburg-Gill-Bobbitt; w/ JimW; S wind & warm by the end; 48.3 miles, 3hrs, 5min, 15.6 mph avg pace. 

Jan tot: 2 rides, 96.0 m.; 6 hrs, 5 min, 15.8 mph.
Feb tot: 11 rides, 350.4 m.; 21 hrs, 53 min, 16.0 mph.
Mar tot: 4 rides, 213.0 m.; 13 hrs, 32 min, 15.7 mph.
YTD: 17 rides, 659.4 m.; 41 hrs, 30 min, 15.9 mph. 

Really like this course. From the turn south @ Gill until the turn west two miles east of Youngsville, we had 19+ miles directly into the headwind. Builds character (and cuts the avg pace down from 16.3)

I definitely need to make sure my front tire is completely inflated. More likely, I need to replace the front tire because the "round" profile has become "flat" enough that the cycle computer is calculating an extra 0.1 miles every 30 miles or so; I know this course consistently measured 48.2 (sometimes a couple hundredths less) last year.
