We had a great group bicycle ride this morning.  I only had three other cyclists show up for the ride but they were good riders.  There names were Eric, Jennifer and Russell. They knew how to ride long. So we took off on a long and fast ride.  We covered 52 miles averaging 16mph.  They were so much fun.  Going long meant really drinking Gatorade and eating lots of food given the heat and calorie burn.  I burned around 4,000 calories according to my calculation.

Here is the map –

Bike shop to Earlysville forest to Free Union.  West to Boonesville then sweeping down to White Hall.  Heading back from White Hall to Free Union via Millington.  Finally we left Free Union to the ship via Woodlands.

I was happy and tired after the ride.  The even better news was that I was not sore.  I guess that cross training and running paid off.
