The ride I was was gonna do yesterday until the rain ruined that. Decided before starting that 30mi was probably too ambitious given I haven't really ridden in like 9 or 10 months. In all reality, I probably could have done it. 

All in all, this went pretty well. Didn't have to stop at any point which is always a plus, and rarely happens. The High St hill in Dunstable was unpleasant, but luckily it was the only one, and I was able to hit like 35mph on the back side. Began feeling the saddle soreness around 8-9mi, but 3-5s standing got me 3-5 minutes sitting. Rail trail was a bit of a mess and maybe a mistake. Low traffic, but the trail isn't in that great a shape, and it was wet with wet pine needles. Could have just continued a bit further and hopped directly on 111 which would have kept me on dry road, but no big deal either way.

Loop was a near perfect 30k measuring at 18.5, but I was moving well and wanted to see where I'd be at an hour, so made a small loop which got me home at 20.5. Came through the hour in 19.6, which I'd say is pretty good. A couple more weeks, and I should be able to put Gavin Ketola to bed.
