Cycle For the Cause 2020

Because of COVID-19, this year ride goes virtual. Last Saturday I rode out with a buddy completing 62+ miles in around 4:40 (moving times). The goal was to ride (or do anything) in 275 mins. We got that down. It also clearly showed that I am seriously out of shape. We also rode during a heat wave so that was extra challenging.

#275 ride

From my place we went to Massapequa Preserve, then kept going north. The northern part of Long Island is extremely hilly. The original planned route was about 72 miles. Around noon I was so miserable (my quads were screaming, refused to generate power) that I requested to turn back early. Overall we were 10 miles short, not much but back then it was like completing or not situation.
