78miles

You're not hard core unless you live hard core. I had only planned to ride to the beach and back but for some reason I was motivated to go up and ride back on the San Gabriel trail. I had never been on that trail before, so I took one wrong turn and didn't realize it for awhile, but I got back on track.
I was pretty much all wiped out when I got home so I ate a few Reeses Pieces and a glass of milk, forced myself to stretch, and then all I could do was lay down on the floor and sleep. I didn't even take off my sweaty clothes. I just slept for about 45 minutes. It was great.
My goal is to ride 100 and now I think that it is very possible.
