April-10: Just putzing along

Apr-10:

BJP: CP-Coley-Boyce-DocN-Baptist-Virgil-Kemp wanderings; 63.0 miles, 4hrs, 2min, 15.6 mph avg pace.

1st Qt. tot: 20 rides; 755.3 m.; 47 hrs, 31 min; 15.9 mph.
Apr tot: 4 rides; 212.5 m.; 13 hrs, 24 min; 15.9 mph.
YTD: 24 rides; 967.8 m.; 60 hrs, 55 min; 15.9 mph.

Usual plan for a successful / enjoyable 100k: slow down ~ 1mph. New alternative plan: putz along @ 15 mph for 3 hours, then "go like hell". You can't hurt yourself that much in only 18 miles. Today, the "new alternative" is what I did; it was NOT the intentional plan; the intentional plan was just to putz along until I got tired of riding and quit. But after three hours, I was feeling good and was well warmed up, so . . . 18 miles in 1 hr, 2 min. And a "spring in my step" the rest of the day.
