My Longest Ride Ever

Yesterday I did my longest ride ever! Usually Monday is my off day, but Sunday was cold and rainy so I did my long ride a day later. I planned to do my first 4 hour ride on a big loop that I thought was 70 miles, but it turned out to be 76 miles, which took 4 and a quarter hours. During that, I did 2 and a half hours of tempo. After about an hour and a half of tempo I started to get real tired and just gritted my teeth through the rest of it.

Here are the numbers:

76.32 miles
4 hours 17 minutes 18 seconds
17.8 avg. mph.
1991 Kilojoules, a new record!

Peak Power Records

5 min.: 164 watts
10 min.: 154 watts
30 min.: 149 watts
60 min.: 145 watts
120 min.: 144 watts
180 min.: 129 watts

Including 128 minutes at threshold power! (not continuously)
